In the course of excavations at the palace in Mari (present-day Tell hariri), theancientcity in theterritory of Syria, French archaeologists discovered a fragment of asculpture portraying a woman (PARRoT 1958: 109; 1959: 5–9, figs. 4–8) (fig. 1). Most fragments were located in one room (no. 64), situated between one of the courtyards and the throne hall, and today referred to as a shrine. The head of the statue was discovered somehow farther off, in the courtyard (no. 106) in front of the shrine. After the fragments had been put together, a sculpture emerged to the researchers, which they called “The Goddess with a vase” (la déesse au vase [jaillissant]) (fig. 2). André Parrot, comparing it with another, slightly earlier sculpture discovered at the palace, which portrays a governor named Ishtup-ilum, and no doubt being impressed by the charm of the former, wrote: …ici, la nymphe avec son charme aristocratique; là, la face brutale, sinon bestiale, d’un gouverneur.
