Rescue and restoration: a history of the Philadelphia "Ram Caught in a Thicket."

Article Abstract:

One of the two statues called 'Ram Caught in a Thicket' which was unearthed from the Royal Cemetery of the ancient city of Ur has been successfully reconstructed by conservators of the University of Pennsylvania Museum. During its discovery, the statue was broken into half with fragmented pieces. However, Sir Leonard Woolley, the director of the excavating team which found the statue, was able to put the pieces together. The artifact was subjected to another conservation in 1997, wherein details missed during its first reconstruction were carefully restored.
