The life-sized bronze head of an Akkadian ruler (3.1.11) was discovered in present-day Ninua, Iraq.
One of the most stunning and terrible works of ancient Near Eastern art is this sculpture of an unnamed Akkadian king (some claim it is Sargon, but no one is sure). The life-size bronze head displays wrinkled brows, curved lips, and hair in striking geometric precision.
The terrible attack that damaged this ruler's face in antiquity is possibly even more terrifying than its strong and solemn appearance. This head was discovered in Iraq. One of the earliest of these royal likenesses is this bronze portrait head, which is said to depict Sargon.
