Si quieres tener una visión general del arte mesopotámico, este es un libro perfecto. Resulta accesible en su contenido pero a la vez tiene la virtud de estar actualizado y profundizar lo suficiente como transcender la mera divulgación. Además cuenta con un amplio corpus de imágenes a color que permiten entender viendo el propio libro las obras que se tratan. 100% recomendable.
