Tell al-`Ubaid Copper Lintel : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tell al-`Ubaid Copper Lintel
The Tell al-`Ubaid Copper Lintel or ''Imdugud Relief'' is a large copper panel found at the ancient Sumerian city of Tell al-`Ubaid in southern Iraq. Excavated by the English archaeologist Henry Hall in 1919, the frieze is one of the largest metal sculptures to survive from ancient Mesopotamia and is now preserved in the British Museum.〔(British Museum Highlights )〕 ==Discovery== The sculpture was discovered in 1919 at the base of a temple foundation made from mud and brick at the isolated Sumerian site of Tell al-`Ubaid, close to the ancient city of Ur in southern Iraq. Archaeologists have determined from extant inscriptions and sculptures that the temple was dedicated to the goddess Ninhursag. Based on where it was originally found, it has been suggested that the copper panel was located above the temple door, in full view of the congregation. Soon after its discovery, the sculpture was shipped to London as part of the British Museum's share of the finds.〔(British Museum Collection )〕
