What is a VOTIVE? | An Ancient Mesopotamian Standing Male Worshipper

Ancient Mesopotamian votive statues were offerings created by the Sumerians during the Early Dynastic Period (c. 2900–2350 BCE). These small figures, like the standing male worshipper from the Square Temple at Eshnunna (modern Tell Asmar), were placed in temples and shrines as gifts to the gods. Votives are not unique to Mesopotamia. They appear across cultures, from Inka silver and gold figurines to Buddhist stone tablets to Christian icons and crowns.
