This terracotta plaque depicts a naked slim woman. She wears a necklace and what appears to be a strap (in three vertical layers) above the pelvis, with one of its ends hanging down on the right thigh. The plaque might have been used for erotic pleasure. From Tell Asmar (ancient Eshnunna), Diyala Valley, Iraq. Old-Babylonian period, 2000-1500 BCE. The Sulaimaniya Museum, Iraq.
