Foundation Peg in the Form of the Forepart of a Lion in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2008
Foundation Peg in the Form of the Forepart of a Lion
Bronze
Northeast Syria, probably Tell Mozan (ancient Urkish)
2200-2100 BC
Accession # 48.180
Inscribed in Hurrian, "Tish-atal, endan [king] of Urkish."
This figure would have been put in a ritual deposit under the wall of a temple, perhaps of the god Nergal.
Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
