Gudea Sumerian character
Gudea is the Sumerian character who has wisdom, dream, and a successful will for the state of Lagash. He is the second king of the Second Sumerian dynasty (2164 - 2111 BC) that ruled Lagash, and he ruled from (2144 - 2124 BC).
Gudea looked to the city of Lagash and its life and transformed it into an unrivaled cultural center, where he placed palaces, temples, and facilities of public benefit. All of these prominent places in the city were filled with artistic productions, especially his statues. The number now displayed in the most famous museums in the world (the Louvre Museum) is More than thirty statues
He made Gudea photograph himself with his hands clasped when he entered the presence of God, and he stood with all reverence and reverence in this state of worship, wearing the simple clothing of a monk, which is a robe that hangs straight and leaves his shoulder and right arm bare, and it has a few folds under the armpit and others on the left forearm and a narrow hem. For the robes and nothing more than that. This robe, devoid of any aesthetic embellishments, is what Kudia wears, and this indicates his piety, modesty, and humility. As for his huge feet, they are in a state of alignment and stillness, and suggest stability and certainty of the state of worship that he undertakes towards his gods, and the way in which the interlocking of the palms is done is repetitive. In all his sculptures, it is a lively, non-silver method starting from its delicate elongation to its end that ends with very carefully carved nails, This style is intentional and may have its own connotations, as his staring eyes and accusing mouth suggest states of insistence that his orders be obeyed, and he embodied them in his statues.
