Description (Catalog Card): Terracotta plaque. Above: a bearded deity full face down to the waist: arms held horizontally, each hand resting against the breast. On either side of the figure are undulating vertical lines possibly representing fire. Immediately below the waist of the figure is the upper horizontal of a rectangular (plaque?). Between the upper and the lower horizontal are 5 dwarf-like figures only one of which (the central figure) can be distinguished as human. This figure stands in the same position as the upper deity, tip of head resting against upper horizontal. The 4 smaller figures appear to have feet but no heads. On the upper and the lower horizontals are circles in relief possibly rosette decorations?1

Location Context Title Context Description Description (Modern)
Ur When Woolley lists context only as 'Ur' on his object catalog cards he tends to mean that it was found somewhere within the confines of the city wall but no more specific than that. These are often surface finds that Woolley felt did not require more specific find spot information. Those found outside the city walls were typically recorded as 'brought in' followed by the name of the broad region from which they were brought in by the workers. (none)
