dc.descriptionThe Neo-Sumerian period is outstanding not only for its architecture but also for its sculpture. In this field Lagash dominated the whole region, and even the whole century, with a production as remarkable for its quantity as for its quality. Owe almost all to Gudea, who ruled for at least 15 years, but as patesi (a high-ranking official exercising both religious and political functions, but standing below the highest echelon in the hierarchy of the State) and not as king. He made Lagash a cultural centre. Over 30 statues exist of Gudea himself.
