GOLDEN HEAD-DRESS OF QUEEN SHUB-AD
Puabi (Akkadian: "Word of my father"), also called Shubad due to a misinterpretation by Sir Charles Leonard
Woolley, was an important person in the Sumerian city of Ur, during the First Dynasty of Ur (c. 2600 BC).
Commonly labeled as a "queen", her status is somewhat in dispute. Several cylinder seals in her tomb identify
her by the title "nin" or "eresh", a Sumerian word which can denote a queen or a priestess. The fact that Puabi,
herself a Semitic Akkadian, was an important figure among Sumerians, indicates a high degree of cultural
exchange and influence between the ancient Sumerians and their Semitic neighbors.
Ur was an important Sumerian city-state in ancient Mesopotamia, located at the site of modern
Tell el-Muqayyar in south Iraq's Dhi Qar Governorate.
