Stake attention in this memory
A large, vertical glazed brick relief, likely dating from ancient Mesopotamia or Persia, is displayed within the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The artwork depicts a standing male figure in profile, facing right. The figure has dark skin, a textured black beard, and dark eyes, wearing an elaborate head covering. His attire consists of a richly patterned tunic and leg coverings in cream, brown, gold, and black hues. His left arm extends forward, grasping a tall, thin spear with a leaf-shaped tip, held vertically. A quiver is visible on his back. The background of the relief is composed of horizontal rows of blue-green glazed bricks. The entire artwork is enclosed within a dark, thin rectangular frame and rests on a light grey square pedestal. The environment behind the display is a plain, light grey wall, indicative of a museum gallery.
