Mesopotamian Cylinder Seal Impression of Sheep and Temple Structure #22469 (License: Personal Use)

This line-art representation mimics a Neo-Sumerian or Early Dynastic period stone relief, where orderly rows of sheep are shown beneath a stepped architectural form resembling a ziggurat or temple facade. The composition emphasizes symmetry and ritual significance, common in votive art dedicated to deities like Inanna or Enki. Such imagery often accompanied temple inventories or foundation deposits, reflecting the centrality of livestock in religious and economic life.
