The Uruk Trough is an important Sumerian sculpture found at the site of Uruk, Iraq. It has been part of the British Museum's collection since 1928. Along with the Uruk Vase, the trough is considered to be one of the earliest surviving works of narrative relief sculpture from the Middle East, dating to 3300-3000 BC, during the Uruk period. Simple relief sculpture is known from much earlier periods, from the site of Göbekli Tepe, dating to circa 9000 BC.

  • The Uruk Trough is an important Sumerian sculpture found at the site of Uruk, Iraq. It has been part of the British Museum's collection since 1928. Along with the Uruk Vase, the trough is considered to be one of the earliest surviving works of narrative relief sculpture from the Middle East, dating to 3300-3000 BC, during the Uruk period. Simple relief sculpture is known from much earlier periods, from the site of Göbekli Tepe, dating to circa 9000 BC. It is thought to have served as some sort of cult image in the temple of the goddess Inanna. The carving depicts a procession of sheep, but the meaning of this scene is unclear. (en)
  • La mangiatoia di Uruk è una scultura sumera a forma di mangiatoia, trovata sul sito di Uruk, in Iraq. Dal 1928 è parte della collezione del British Museum. Condivide, assieme al vaso di Uruk, il primato di una delle prime opere mediorientali decorate con una narrativa in rilievo. L'artefatto è datato al 3300-3000 a.C., durante il cosiddetto periodo di Uruk. La "mangiatoia" avrebbe potuto servire come oggetto di culto nel tempio della dea Inanna. La scultura intagliata raffigura una processione di pecore, ma il significato allegorico di questa scena non è chiaro. (it)
