English: A limestone statue, carved from locally sourced, cream-colored hard stone, stands 94 cm tall. It depicts a man in his forties or fifties, standing erect, with a shaved head and face. The figure is nude, with a prominent three-row or triple-wrapped belt around the waist, and visible genitalia. The hands are placed on the chest, the right hand over the left, with clearly defined fingers and nails. The ribcage is visible below the neck, forming a V-shape. The elbows are sharply angled and protrude outwards, creating space between the arms and the chest and under the armpits. The head sits almost directly on the torso, with a well-defined and expressive face. The ears are prominent, with visible ear canals. The eyes are deep-set, surrounded by protruding brows. The mouth is somewhat large, suggesting the figure may be reciting religious chants, although it is partially damaged, as is the nose, which has sustained the most damage. The legs separate at the knees, but the feet are missing. The back shows the spinal column as a clearly incised line dividing the back in two. The belt is also visible on the lower back, and there is a slight curve between the thigh and calf, creating a small angle or bend behind the knee. The statue is broken at the neck and waist and has been restored. It was carefully carved to represent a worshipper in a pose of prayer, reverence, and supplication to the deities, combining abstraction and naturalism in a three-dimensional style. It is similar to Sumerian worshipper statues found in various Mesopotamian sites, such as Tell Hariri, Tell Khafajah, and Tell Asmar, dating to the first half of the 3rd millennium BC, from the time of Mesilim or nearby (Murtgat 1969: 120), but with features that may be more Semitic. Unlike most Mesopotamian statues of the same period, it bears no inscriptions. The statue may have been a votive offering by an inhabitant of the region, and the shaved head may reflect ancient local religious practices. The statue was discovered accidentally during road construction at the archaeological site, not during a formal excavation.
