Entemena

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Entemena, son of En-anna-tum I, reestablished Lagash as a power in Sumer. He defeated Illi of Umma, and, with the aid of Lugal-kinishe-dudu of Uruk, successor to Enshakushanna, who is in the king list.

A tripod of silver dedicated by Entemena to his god is now in the Louvre. A frieze of lions devouring ibexes and deer, incised with great artistic skill, runs round the neck, while the eagle crest of Lagash adorns the globular part. The vase is a proof of the high degree of excellence to which the goldsmith's art had already attained. A vase of calcite, also dedicated by Entemena, has been found at Nippur.
