Painted Ceramic Jar From Khafajah

This is an example of a type of decorated pottery known as Scarlet Ware. The painting includes chariot and banquet scene with musicians. One musician plays a bull-headed lyre. The jar is the earliest object so far known to combine these recurrent themes in Sumerian art. Early Dynastic Period, 2800-2600 BCE. From Khafajah (ancient Tutub), modern-day Diyala Governorate, Iraq. (The British Museum, London).
