A queen of Ur buried in Grave 800 of the Royal Cemetery (Sumeria) around the middle of the 3rd millennium BC, whose tomb contained the bodies of more than 60 attendants. In the grave was the skeleton of Puabi, adorned with ornaments of gold, silver and lapis lazuli, and an attendant. In the entrance shaft were skeletons of richly adorned women and men, as well as a sledge and the skeletons of the two oxen which had pulled it. Rich grave goods include many vessels of gold, silver, and copper, a gaming board and a silver harp inlaid with shell and red and blue stone.
