This replica represents Gudea who ruled from the Sumerian city of Lagash and was known for his wise administration, devotion to peace and patronage of the arts.

High-rimmed bowl. This shape first appears about 770 BC amongst pottery attributed to an artist now known as the Dipylon Painter, one of the great artists of this period. The decoration around the rim is not typical of the Dipylon workshop, and suggests another workshop had copied the shape. 750-720 BC
