HOW MANY SOLDIERS ON THE “STELE OF THE VULTURES”? A HYPOTHETICAL RECONSTRUCTION
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2015
Abstract
The study presents a reconstruction of the arrangement of the soldiers of Lagash as represented in the first and second registers of the “Stele of the Vultures” of King Eannatum according to both philological and iconographic data. Through a process of deconstruction, it is possible to read the composition as the result of a combination of two perspectives employed by the Sumerian artists.
