Bronze figurine named Gilgamesh on a plastic base. A 25 Volvo Europa hangs at the bottom. The figurine is by Paul Van Gysegem (Berlare 1935), a Belgian jazz and improvisation musician and visual artist. The human figure is central to his work. (Wikipedia). The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest literary works. The origin of this epic poem of approximately 3,000 lines probably lies in Sumer around 2100 BC. Gilgamesh himself is believed to have been king of Uruk around 2620 BC. The epic was copied and adapted countless times and spread over a wide area.
