original text:

The Mask of Warka, also known as the Lady of Uruk and the "Sumerian Mona Lisa," is an ancient Sumerian relic. The mask dates from 3,100 B.C., is approximately 20 centimeters tall, and carved of marble. The face depicted is that of a woman, and is one of the earliest representations of the human face.

The mask was looted from the National Museum of Iraq during the fall of Baghdad in April, 2003. It was later recovered in September 2003,by the 812th Military Police Company (Combat Support), and returned to the museum.
