How can I possibly get anything else done when I have this little beauty to research? This small clay figurine from Tell al-Wilayah is utterly charming! My 8-year old suggested it is an aardvark! What do you think-hedgehog, or something else entirely? #Mesopotamia #TellAlWilayah #clay_figurine

holding the new book "Between the two Rivers" by Moudhy al-Rashid
