Summary[edit]

Description
Français : Coffre en terre cuite avec couvercle, orné de bas-reliefs représentant des serpents. Ur, période paléo-babylonienne (2000-1600 av. J.-C). ME 117012. Cet objet avait probablement une fonction magique protectrice. Dans la religion mésopotamienne, le serpent renouvelant sa peau symbolise la longévité et la bonne santé ; il était aussi craint pour son venin.
