Sumerian Head Amulet
of a Goddess
2300-2100 B.C.
Marble head amulet of a goddess worked
out in high quality. The round head with
pronounced cheekbones, a large, prominent
nose and a mouth shaped into a smile. The
large eyes are pierced deeply into the stone
and once held lapis lazuli inlays. The
goddess has her hair parted in the middle,
sideways long curls cascade over her
temples. Behind them protruding bull ears
which are typical for Sumerian head
amulets. The head is vertically pierced for
suspension. Sumerian head amulets are
mainly known for male depictions and
should personify heroes from the Gilgamesh
epic such as Enkidu. Female portrayals like
the present one are extremely rare. Possibly
this amulet is a representation of Ningal, the
goddess of reeds, wife of the moon god
Nanna. See the marble head of Ningal from
Ur, today in the Penn Museum in
Philadelphia, USA, with the object number
B16228. Mounted.
Dimensions: 2.4 cm high
Provenance: The Bactria Corp., New York,
1960 to 1970s. Thence Merrin Gallery, New
York. Last in a New York private collection.
Price: 8 000 Euro
