This heavily worn head may represent Gudea, the ruler of the small city-state of Lagash in the 22nd-century BCE. Most statues of Gudea were defaced and decapitated by later conquerors of Lagash. A small, headless statue of a seated Gudea is on display in the HSM’s exhibit “From the Nile to the Euphrates.” It is of similar scale to this fragment.
