The tablet, discovered in Mari, Mesopotamia, is now housed in the National Museum in Damascus, Syria. Mesopotamian art comes alive through this fragment of a limestone table dedicated to Shamash, the sun god and bringer of justice. The intricate carvings on this ancient artifact depict scenes from daily life during that era. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography beautifully captures every detail of this historical treasure.
