Ancient Jemdet Nasr Period Ivory Lion Amulet, 3100-2900 BCE

Item Details

Description

This exquisitely carved ancient lion amulet, rendered in ivory, dates back to the Jemdet Nasr period, around 3100-2900 BCE. It measures 2.8x1.8x0.8 cm, showcasing the refined artistry of early Mesopotamian civilizations. The Jemdet Nasr period is known for its advances in writing, architecture, and artistic endeavors, with ivory carving being a luxury art form due to the rarity and value of the material. This amulet's detailed craftsmanship reflects the period's high social and religious practices, where lions were often symbolic of divine power and protection. The preservation of this piece, particularly the smooth finish and the clarity of the drilled eyes, underscores its significance as a personal talisman. It would have been owned by someone of high status, possibly used as an offering or worn for spiritual safeguarding. This piece is an extraordinary collectible, offering a profound connection to the dawn of urban civilization in Mesopotamia.
