    Statuette of a Wild Sheep or a Ram

    Statuette of a Human-Headed Bull

    Statuette of a Human-Headed Bull

    This Statuette of a Human-Headed Bull represents a very popular mythological hybrid figure that was largely widespread in Near Eastern iconography (especially in glyptics) from the Sumerian period, that is the bull with a bearded human head, wearing a headgear (tiara) adorned with a single pair of horns.

    Pyxis with Bird-Shaped Lid

    Pyxis with Bird-Shaped Lid

    The body, which has a flat, circular base but does not ensure the vessel is well balanced, is hemispherical in shape: it has been carved with great precision. The lid, with its domed profile, depicts the body of a bird in a simple, stylised manner: it features a central, triangular knob and a small side handle, which correspond respectively to the bird’s head and tail.

    Earring representing a Bird

    Islamic Earring representing a Bird.

    The pendant is a small masterpiece of Islamic jewelry: it combines several materials and crafting techniques common among Near Eastern goldsmiths of the time. This supports a stylized bird figurine, whose plumage is rendered in dark red and black enamel.

    Seal in the Shape of a Lion’s Head

    Seal in the Shape of a Lion’s Head

    Modeled in the shape of a stylized leonine protome (the head is complete, but the body is a simple half-circle representing the mane of the animal), it was carved from a cream-colored limestone veined with red; it is pierced vertically by a hole and was therefore intended to be worn as a pendant (necklace or bracelet).

    The flat lower part of the object actually bears the seal of the owner and of his goods: it is adorned with drawings made with a bouterolle (a sort of drill).

    Statuette of an Elephant

    Statuette of an Elephant

    Carved from a small limestone monolith, this statuette is certainly one of the first three-dimensional images of elephant in Near Eastern art; moreover, these large mammals were rarely represented in the rich animal iconography of this prominent culture.

    Statuette of two seated young bulls

    Statuette of two seated young bulls

    This small, beautiful object is composed of two elements: a parallelepiped that serves as a base for two statuettes of young bulls, whose bodies are merged together and placed head to toe. The animals are seated on the floor, their legs folded under their bodies. In spite of the stylization of the figurines, partly related to their miniature size, the artist skillfully rendered the proportions, the position and anatomy of the bulls. The delicate expression of their muzzle and their somewhat thick appearance certainly tend to imitate the naivety and clumsiness of a young animal.

    Anepigraphic Scarab

    Near Eastern Bowl with the Figurine of a Bull

    Near Eastern Bowl with the Figurine of a Bull

    The bowl is perfectly turned. The ceramic is beige, but the surface is entirely covered with colored paint. The element that makes this piece a very special, perhaps unique object, is certainly the statuette of the quadruped.
