stream of water on a small fragment from Telloh, are of early 

 Sumerian art. The representation of Gilgamesh carr3ning fish 

 dates from at least 2800 B.C., or some thirteen hundred years 

 previous to the Phylokapi Vase (the most ancient Greek 

 representation of men similarly engaged) and so furnishes a 

 comparison, and from the differences in delineation of face, 

 arms, and eyes a contrast of singular interest. ^
