Roman, Portrait Bust of Cicero

 

Roman portrait busts took the realism of Greek art but emphasized the individual even more strongly, making the busts sometimes painfully faithful to the real-life model.

 

In this case the bust is meant to portray Cicero the late republican and orator as a man of principle and conviction.

Mesopotamian - "Soundbox of a Lyre"

 

This ornately decorated sound-box found in a Sumerian tomb was probably used in a funeral rite which involved the ritual sacrifice of its player.

 

From what little myths survive, it seems the Sumerian religion was very brutal and bloody.
