Légende
A man (bottom left) playing a musical instrument leads a herd of sheep and goats from a pen, Above a kneeling potter works on a large vessel and in front of him are a row of vessels and pots. The herds led from the byre and the preparation for the feast may be connected with the legend of Etana, a hero who failed to ascend to the highest heaven clinging to the neck of an eagle. Culture, Mesopotamia : Akkadian Period : 2340 2180 BC Material : Limestone.
