Hi I my name Dennis and im looking for some insight on an item me and my wife purchased.We have what is most often referred to as the" libation cup of Gudea".It was purchased as part of an estate with many Egyptian antiquities. We have searched for weeks on information and can only trace this piece to the Louvre museum in Paris from an article in 1999. Im sure this would be a reproduction but i cant find it anywhere on the net. our piece appears to made of soapstone as the original states.http://www.mazzaroth.com/ChapterThree/TowerOfBabel.htm that image is exact to ours. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We would like to know if this piece is still in the Louvre and it was replicated in soapstone the link is for the one in the Louvre
