Stone cult vessel,from Mesopotamia, 3400-3200 BCE. This
was the time when large cities were developing in southern Mesopotamia. The largest known settlement was Uruk (modern Warka). In its center were monumental temple buildings with sculptures for ritual use, or, if smaller, left as votive objects. Lines of animals are commonly depicted attacking domesicated animals. This is a standard theme in
Mesopotamic art, a symbolic representation of the struggle between chaotic savagry and divine order.
