Statues of Ancient Asia

Statues of Ancient Asia

Ancient Asia was the ruler of the city-state of Lagash, ruling from 2144 BC to 2124 BC. His statue shows a very exquisite level of craftsmanship at that time. These statues were commissioned by Ancient Asia, who was dedicated to rebuilding the large temple of Lagash and installing his own statue in it. This sculpture is currently housed in the British Museum.
