    The Warka Vase is of very high importance and value to the city of Uruk due to the precious material from which is was carved from and its decoration complexity. From the carvings we see themes of ceremony/society as well as animals such as goats carved into it.
  • White Temple and Ziggurat, Uruk, Unrecorded Artist, 3517-3358 B.C.E. (17.5 x22.3) Asia/West Asia/ Iraq

    Ziggurats were more than visual focal point of the city of Uruk, they were symbolic. Some themes conveyed here are deties and place of worship as it was more than just a temple to be observed, it had a connection to their god who to them was their ruler and political authority whenever people saw Ziggurat.
