#MetalMonday:
Figurine of a mountain goat
Iranian, Proto Elamite, 3100-2750 BCE
Silver & sheet gold, 4 x 7 cm (1 9/16 x 2 3/4 in.)
On view at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
“This object is one of the earliest surviving Near Eastern sculptures in precious metal. The goat is made of silver and plated with gold on the face.
Incised lines illustrate the texture of the goat's hair and beard. One leg protrudes far from the body, two are held in close, and the last is only visible as an incised outline carefully etched into the figurine's underside.”
