Figura com chocalho em posição de marcha

ca. 3000 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 202
Esta figura dinâmica, fundida com a técnica de fundição por cera perdida no início da produção de escultura em metal, projeta uma força extraordinária e monumentalidade, apesar de seu tamanho pequeno. O homem calçado com botas de pontas encurvadas para cima, roupa adequada das regiões montanhosas do Irã e da Mesopotâmia, forma par com uma outra figura quase idêntica. Os chifres do íbice que se projetam da sua cabeça e as asas da ave de rapina que envolvem seus ombros aumentam seu poder. A combinação de formas humanas e animais para representar as crenças sobrenaturais, e talvez expressar as crenças xamãs, é característica das artes do Irã protoelamita.
