"Breath of Heaven, Breath of Earth: Ancient Near Eastern Art from
American Collections" encompasses the geographic regions of
Mesopotamia, Syria and the Levant, and Anatolia and Iran, and
explores several broad themes found in the art of the ancient Near
East: gods and goddesses, men and women, and both real and
supernatural animals. These art objects reveal a wealth of
information about the people and cultures that produced them: their
mythologies, religious beliefs, concepts of kingship, social
structures, and daily lives.
