Description
Français : Cette statuette assez rare représente la déesse Lama, une déesse médiatrice qui précède les orants et les présente aux dieux. Son manteau est décoré dans le bas de deux lisières d'écailles terminés par des franges. Son collier est prolongé par une longue chaînette à laquelle est suspendu un sceau-cylindre ou une amulette cylindrique. Un contrepoids qui ressemble au menat égyptien se trouve dans son dos. Les parures, les vêtements et la riche coiffure, similaires aux sculptures de la ville de Mari, laissent supposer que cette statuette a pu être confectionnée dans un atelier à la périphérie mésopotamiene.
English: This rather rare statuette represents the goddess Lama, a mediating goddess who precedes the orants and presents them to the gods. His coat is decorated at the bottom with two selvedges of scales ending in fringes. Its necklace is extended by a long chain to which is suspended a cylinder seal or a cylindrical amulet. A counterweight resembling the Egyptian menat is on his back. The ornaments, clothing and rich hairstyle, similar to the sculptures of the city of Mari, suggest that this statuette could have been made in a workshop on the outskirts of Mesopotamia.
