Tomb of Ur Helmet
Upper Floor - Room 56
The city of Ur lay in south Mesopotamia, close to the ancient shoreline of the Gulf. Excavations by Sir Leonard Wooley in 1927-32 uncovered a unique cemetery with hundreds of graves, many belonging in the Early Dynastic period. The British Museum received a quarter-share of the finds.
This is an electrotype copy of the gold helmet of Meskalamdug from about 2600 BC.
