Home page Info about artworkdescription: In Mesopotamia, jewelry was both worn and offered in temples as gifts to the gods. Its purpose was often more functional than ornamental: pendants worn on the body served as talismans to ward off evil and to increase the wearer's power. mesopotamian amulets depict a large range of animals native to the Near East, illustrated here by a bull's head.
