Quoted text:
The art historian Irene Winter (1989) has elaborated some of the nonnumerical symbolism reflected in Gudea’s 20 surviving statues. There are so many of them, and they resemble each other so closely, as to suggest at first glance that they were true likenesses, perhaps reflecting Gudea’s egoism. However, Winter cited five iconographic qualities indicating that these statues were unlikely to be actual portraits. They embodied stereotypical royal qualities in a seemingly realistic guise, just as their sexagesimal proportions appeared naturalistic at first glance.
