Reconstructed headdress of Puabi, found at the Sumerian city of Ur, in Iraq.

Reconstructed headdress of Puabi, by Sir Charles Leonard Woolley, found at the Sumerian city of Ur, in Iraq. Dates from the First Dynasty of Ur (ca. 2600 BC). Commonly labelled as a "queen", her status is somewhat in dispute. Several cylinder seals in her tomb identify her by the title "nin" or "eresh", a Sumerian word which can denote a queen or a priestess.
