Illustration
This is from the Eye Temple at Tell Brak. The gold and stone elements were fastened to wood. The design appears to reflect a temple facade; the small circles imitate cone mosaic, and the vertical fluting represents half-columns or niches. Late Uruk Period, 3300-3000 BCE. From Tell Brak, modern-day Syria. (The British Museum, London)
