Sumerian Deity Holding a Foundation Peg in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009

Sumerian Deity Holding a Foundation Peg in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009

Deity Holding a Foundation Peg

Creator: Sumerian (Artist)

Period: ca. 2100 BC (Neo-Sumerian)

Medium: cast bronze (Metal)

Accession Number: 54.790

Measurements: 6 15/16 x 1 11/16 x 2 13/16 in. (17.7 x 4.3 x 7.2 cm)

Geography: Lagash (present-day Telloh, Iraq) (Place of Discovery)

A deity, wearing a divine horned headdress, kneels with a foundation peg inscribed with King Gudea's name. Though the inscription is mostly defaced, it was probably dedicated to the Ningirsu, god of the city of Lagash.
