Response to 1st Classmate: Hi Dan,
I really enjoyed reading about your chosen artifact, the “Disk of Enheduanna.” It’s fascinating how art and history come together to reveal the earliest recorded name of an author in human history. The fact that you can see the actual depiction of Enheduanna herself, wearing her high priestess headwear and flounced wool garment, adds a unique layer to the historical context. Your observation about the connection to real people from the past and the emotions that connection evokes is poignant – it’s a reminder that these artifacts are bridges to the lives and cultures that existed so long ago. It’s also intriguing how Enheduanna’s individuality and importance are emphasized through the way she’s depicted, standing out from the others. Thanks for sharing your insights, and I’m glad you found a piece that resonated with you in this way!
Best regards,

Response to 2nd Classmate: Hi there,
Your description of the artwork from the Assyrian empire period is quite informative. The imagery you’ve described – a man or woman with a child holding a symbol of a bird – is indeed symbolic, suggesting the idea of support and freedom. It’s interesting how art can communicate complex concepts and cultural values even across such vast periods of time. The cuneiform writing you mentioned adds another layer of significance, revealing the importance of written language in conveying messages and preserving knowledge.
The discussion about the monument being originally located in a palace and the uncertainties surrounding its relocation brings up a thought-provoking aspect about how our understanding of historical objects can sometimes be shaped by their context. It’s a reminder that there’s so much more to these artifacts that might be forever lost to time. Thanks for sharing your insights on this piece of art!
Best regards,
