Foundation figure of Ur-Namma holding a basket

Foundation figure of Ur-Namma holding a basket. Culture: Neo-Sumerian. Dimensions: H. 27.3 cm (10 3/4 in.). Date: ca. 2112-2095 B.C.. This solid-cast figurine shows a male figure, beardless and with a shaved head, carrying a basket filled with earth above his head. The basket may indicate that the figure is participating in ceremonial building activities, such as the ceremony for making the first brick which is recorded in texts from this period. The cuneiform inscription on the peg identifies it as one which was deposited in the foundation of a temple of Inanna restored or built by the Ur III ruler Ur-Namma.
