Description
Français : Ce genre de plaques votives carrées montrant des banquets rituels, des scènes de guerre ou de construction sont retrouvées dans d'importants temples ou sanctuaires de Mésopotamie. Elles constiteunt une partie du système verrouillage de porte : une corde ou crochet maintenant la porte était attaché à une cheville en bois collée au centre de la plaque. Le style de cette plaque est typique à celles découvertes à Nippur en Iraq. Le registre supérieur représente une scène de banquet avec des dieux identifiables par leur couronnes de cornes de taureau. Trois dieux assis tiennent une coupe, un quatrième se tient entre eux avec les mains en position de prière. Dans les régistres du dessous se trouvent des fidèles dont certains portent des offrandes telles que des chèvres ou des moutons.
English: This kind of square votive plates showing ritual banquets, scenes of war or construction are found in important temples or shrines of Mesopotamia. They constitute a part of the door locking system: a rope or hook holding the door was attached to a wooden dowel glued to the center of the plate. The style of this plaque is typical of those discovered in Nippur, Iraq. The upper register represents a banquet scene with gods identified by their crowns of bull horns. Three seated gods hold a cup, a fourth stands between them with their hands in prayer position. In the registers below there are devotees, some of whom carry offerings such as goats or sheep.
