Statuettes of naked bearded men (possibly the priest-king). Uruk period, c. 3300 BC. Limestone. H. 30.50 cm; W. 10.40 cm; D. 7 cm. Ancient Mesopotamia, from the earliest times to the 3rd millennium BC. Inv. AO5718. Photo: Raphaël Chipault. This schematically rendered figure is believed to be the representation of a 'priest-king.' The term is traditionally used to designate the dignitary of the highest rank in the earliest urban societies, which emerged in southern Mesopotamia in the Uruk period.
