Lagash? ca. 2144-2124 B.C.
AZ145
Inscription:
Inscription names "Gudea" and "Lagash", but because of the corrosion, it is impossible to read the remainder, which would have named the god and the temple.
Notes:
Gudea was the leader of Lagash around 2150 B.C.
Traces of fabric remain in the corrosion in the area around the beard on the god's head. Foundation figures were often wrapped in cloth prior to burial.
Summary:
God (probably the personal god of Gudea) wearing short kilt and long split skirt in semi-kneeling posture, supporting between its legs a large peg.
