Entre Syrie et Mésopotamie : vases zoomorphes du Règne de Mittani
Abstract: The Mittanian zoomorphic vessels from Nuzi, Tell Brak, Tell al-Rimah and other sites allow the creation of a significant database for analysis based on typological criteria as well as spatial distribution. This class of materials is attested in several areas of the ancient Near East from the Late Calcholitic and still produced until the Mittanian age and thereafter. Most of the finds come from temples or domestic contexts and they can be now securely dated, while their spatial distribution can be properly investigated. Lion representations seem to predominate, but pigs and other animals appear as well. The exact function and meaning of these vessels are difficult to ascertain, nevertheless, in most cases, they are probably related to cultic practices performed throughout the Mittanian Empire.
