Description
If you're looking for a unique and beautiful piece of art, look no further. The statue is the perfect way to add some flair to any home or office. *Made of a Basalt stone it has been given an aged slate black patina with a hint of ochre. Available here is a reduction replica portion of the great ancient Babylonian code of Hammurabi. This code was a vast list of laws that came to define the ancient society and influence modern day values and social structures. The term 'an eye for an eye' one of the most famous highlights of this seminal document first appeared here. 282 laws associated with trade, divorce and property were listed on a 2.25 meter / 7.4 ft pillar. The pillar itself was carved to form a finger with the finger nail portion recessed to showcase a carving of Hammurabi. This small version of the large monument shows the upper part of the finger and it is covered with fine Akkadian cuneiform text documenting the first laws. The two figures inhabit the finger nail portion in raised relief.

The Sobek statue I ordered from Excavations is gorgeous. It's beautifully carved from a large chunk of granite. The price was reasonable for something so hefty and handmade, shipped all the way from Cairo to the US. Communication from the seller was exceptional. Packaging was very secure - a firm wood box with plenty of foam wrap. Despite customs opening the box to inspect the statue, it arrived unscathed, appearing exactly as described in the listing. I highly recommend this seller.
Lightening fast international shipping directly from Egypt and excellent service all around, seller is friendly, accommodating and very patient with my various questions. A joy to deal with, easy transaction - highly recommend this store!
