Molded plaque: king or a god carrying a mace
A pale terracotta relief plaque shows a standing male figure in profile, wearing a cap or headdress and a short, layered garment. He holds a mace or weapon in one raised hand, with the other arm held down at his side. The fragmentary, irregular edges of the clay tablet frame the figure against a plain gray backdrop.
