Old Babylonian terracotta plaque from Nippur
An Old Babylonian terracotta plaque, moulded with an offering scene, depicting a man advancing to his left whilst holding out an animal, probably a goat, with four legs sticking out. The reverse is unmodelled. Supplied with the old lucite base.
Circa 1900-1600 BC. (time of Hammurabi).
Condition: Fine and intact. Some loss mostly along the bottom edge surface weathering. Details a little worn, although this may be from wear to the cast from which the mould was originally taken.
Height 10.6 cms (4.2 ins).
Provenance: Paul S. Forbes collection, Maryland, acquired 1970's - 1980's.
Terracotta plaques of this sort were mass- produced from moulds and represented a form of art available to a wide audience. They have been excavated in temples as well as in household shrines and private homes and give us a mysterious glimpse into religious practices and the ideas that people valued. Their subject matter varies widely, including religious images, mythological and erotic scenes, and representations of rulers and gods. All our items are supplied with an illustrated certificate of authenticity (COA) which will act as as a guarantee that all items are authentic and dated to the period stated.
All our items include shipping to mainland UK.
Buyers outside the UK and non-mainland UK need to email us for postage costs before buying. Overseas buyers need to check that the item they intend buying can be imported into their country and will be responsible for paying any customs and/or tax charges.
