The Votive Figures dates back to 2900 BCE. These figures can be men and women which are often dedicated to the gods. The larger the figures usually, it shows how important he/she is. Figures usually can have the simple inscription to either say something about the person or all the things the person had accomplished their gods’ honour and philosophy. These figures have dramatic face and bodies and always posture straightly with their hands clasped. Their eyes are widening to indicate that they are close to Gods. The Votive Statue suggests that this was a gift to the people of Mesopotamia. It displays the power of Gudea and shows resources with companionship and devotion as it stands between God and mortal. It brings trust to the community
