Summary

Description
English: Head of the Neo-Sumerian ruler Gudea, ruler of Lagash. Fake artifact; archaeological forgery. It was supposed to be sold as a genuine ancient Mesopotamian piece. Confiscation; not-on-display. The Sulaymaniyah Museum, Iraq. It resembles another head of Gudea at the Met Museum (see https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/324061), and therefore, I wonder if it is a genuine piece and has come from...?
