Abstract

As we move from the third millennium to the second millennium BCE, the representation of women in Mesopotamian art substantially decreases. This tendency has been noted by many academics, but the cause has not yet been discovered. With the support of the supposition that a reduction in women's status caused a decline in their representation in art, this study seeks to explain this trend. This paper primarily employs case studies to identify any variations in how women were portrayed before using the information gained to support the hypothesis. The study also gives a background on women's representation in seals and legal codes.
