Molded Plaque with a King or a God Carrying a Mace in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, August 2008
Molded Plaque with a King or a God Carrying a Mace
Ceramic
Southern Mesopotamia
Isin-Larsa-Old Babylonian period, 2000-1700 BC
Accession # 32.39.2
The figure on this plaque wears the round headdress of a king. Similar figures appear on cylinder seals, where they are usually depicted facing a suppliant goddess. Some scholars interpret the scene to mean that the figure is not a king but a god.
