• BABYLONIAN TERRACOTTA PORTRAIT
  BABYLONIAN TERRACOTTA PORTRAIT PLAQUE OF HUMBABAAncient Near East, Mesopotamia, Babylon, Old Babylonian Period, ca. 2000 to 1600 BCE. A fine, press-molded terracotta plaque featuring the intimidating countenance of the legendary demon giant Humbaba with thick-lidded eyes, a broad nose, wrinkled jowls that coalesce at the bottom to form the chin, a toothy grimace, and a helmet-like coiffure. In Akkadian mythology, Humbaba or Huwawa was a monstrous demon giant who personified Styx, the river of the dead. Humbaba was also the guardian of the Forest of the Cedars where the other gods resided. Size: 2.8" W x 3.2" H (7.1 cm x 8.1 cm); 4.4" H (11.2 cm) on included custom stand. The most famous Mesopotamian story - entitled "The Epic of Gilgamesh" - narrates how Gilgamesh and Enkidu set out on an adventure to the Cedar Forest to slay Humbaba. Once they find Humbaba, the giant demon renowned for his terrifying, supernatural radiance, they beat him nearly to death. Humbaba's pleas for mercy were almost granted, however Enkidu convinces Gilgamesh to finally kill the beast and achieve global fame for the rest of time; subsequently, Gilgamesh acquiesces to his friend's suggestion and beheads the dreaded monster. The severed head of Humbaba was then affixed to a cedar door and sent to the temple of Enlil, king of the gods. This literary detail may explain the abundance of clay plaques depicting Humbaba's wrinkled and terrifying face as they were perhaps primarily used as charms against evil and may have been hung on entrances to homes or businesses.

• 3 BABYLONIAN TERRACOTTA CUNEIFORM
  3 BABYLONIAN TERRACOTTA CUNEIFORM TABLET FRAGMENTSAncient Near East, Mesopotamia, Babylon, Old Babylonian Period, ca. 2000 to 1600 BC. This is a fine trio of terracotta tablet fragments that are impressed with dozens of characters - the completed tablets would have been covered in narrow horizontal bands of cuneiform, a very early form of writing. The largest has script on both sides - though one face contains considerably more characters, due to abrasions on the verso. The other 2 pieces are flatter and marked on one face, the characters are the most discernable at the center. Cuneiform script is one of the oldest known writing systems in the world, made using a reed as a stylus and scratching wedge-shaped marks onto clay tablets. Early cuneiform was pictographic, but in the 3rd millennium BCE it shifted to the more abstract form. While not translated, these tablets are clear enough for to discern some of the cuneiform, perhaps enough to glean some content from these ancient writings.
