Missing Illustration
Quoted text:
Archaeologists have called these coarse clay utensils the ugliest artifacts of their day (Illustration 3.4).
Can you help us find what Illustration 3.4 should be (or is it multiple illustrations, per the author’s Illustrations list), or something like it/them?
According to the author’s Illustrations list, this should be:
“Bevelled-rim bowl, and Sumerian sign meaning ‘to eat.’”
Hans J. Nissen, The Early History of the Ancient Near East: 9000–2000 BC (Chicago: 1988a), Figure 33, p. 84.
and/or:
Hans J. Nissen, Mesopotamia Before 5000 Years (Rome: 1988b), Figure 30, p. 123: Bevelled Rim Bowl and the sign-forms for KU2 “to eat.”
