EDIIIB

Description: The Early Dynastic IIIb period is approximately the century before the Akkadian Empire.  The beginning of this sub-period is hard to define, being based on stylistic changes in the material remains.  It is marked by a change in glyphs and cylinder seals from a steep angling of figures into a compact frieze.  This period has marginally more historical sources than the preceding sub-periods, mainly from the city-state of Lagash.

Gold sockets rising from the shoulder shows that they were supports for something : of this the only possible trace was a white substance, perhaps leather, which lay under the second animal found. The first animal [A] is rather badly broken & the legs & part of the rump are separate but the thickness of the body is preserved : the second [B] is squashed quite flat but keeps its silhouette & only 3 of the flowers are detached.
