Gypsum head of a man, from Sippar, southern Iraq, early Dynastic period, 2500 BCE. This very worn head was probably once part of a votive figurine, set up in a temple in Sippar to pray on behalf of the donor. The eyes would originally have been inlaid; traces of bitumen survive in the
sockets. ANE 91877 (1882.9-18.a.5.)
