thoughtful mastiff from 2100 b.c.e.
additional image of him in black and white which really points up the wrinkles of his brow. Measuring all of 5 3/4 x 3 3/4 x 9 in., this stout mastiff-type dog was sculpted during the Neo-Sumerian period, a time of order and calm exercise of power. This webpage has more on that subject as well as a number of artworks, if you're interested.
