Head Of Chef Hammurabi - Reproduction From The Louvre Museum After The Antique

Beautiful reproduction from the Louvre Museum in Paris, based on the antique of the Head of Hammurabi. On wooden base. History: The accepted hypothesis concerning the person represented is that it would be a prince or an important personality member of the political and social elite of the time because certain stylistic details such as the shape of the beard, the arrangement of the hair on the forehead, the shape of the wide-brimmed cap (headdress) with royal characteristics and the curls in the neck indicate an ancestry of high lineage but being of date before the reign of the previously named king. The head of Hammurabi was discovered in Susa, Iran. It is assumed that this Sculpture was looted from Mesopotamia in the 12th century BCE. Despite its name, this sculpture does not represent Hammurabi, who was the sixth king of Babylon from the First Dynasty but a ruler predating his reign
