The "ram in a thicket" from Ur,southern Iraq, is one of an almost identical pair discovered by Leonard Woolley in the "Great Death Pit", one of the Royal Graves in the cemetery at Ur. The "ram" is rather a goat and he reaches up for the tastiest branches. The goat's head and legs are covered in gold leaf, its ears are copper, its twisted horns and the fleece on its back are of lapis lazuli, the body fleece is made of shell. Its genitals are gold. The tree is covered in gold leaf, with golden flowers. ANE 122200
