Here are mine:

View attachment 237612 Bull's Head: Sumerian art, 3500 BCE. Gold and lapis. It probably decorated the royal harp. It is currently located in the Penn Museum, Philadelphia.

View attachment 237613 Detail from Burney Relief: Mesopotamian terra cotta placque from old Babylonian Period, created 19th - 18th century BCE. It is currently located in the British Museum, London.

View attachment 237614 Standing Male Worshipper: Sumerian art, 2900 - 2600 BCE. The statue was placed in the "Square Temple" at Tell Asmar, and was perhaps dedicated to the god Abu. It is currently located in The Met, New York.

View attachment 237615 Winged Horse: Assyrian stone cylinder seal used to mark property, legal transactions, and as a signature. It is from the middle Assyrian period, 1300 - 1200 BCE. It is currently located in The Met, New York.
