Item Details

Description

Ca. 3300-3000 BC.A stone eye idol distinguished by its tubular-shaped body and a flat base. The upper part of this idol is meticulously sculpted into a highly stylized head, which captivates the viewer with its piercingly expressive eyes. Originating from the site of Tell Brak, these idols emerged during the late fourth and early third millennium BC, representing a distinctive artistic and religious tradition. These idols are believed to have served a ritualistic and symbolic purpose, potentially associated with votive practices or as representations of deities or ancestors. Size: L:32mm / W:22mm ; 20g Provenance: Private London collection; formerly acquired in the US in the 1990s.
