Realism and surrealism [a suggestion]
The Urkesh glyptic style is marked by a strong element of naturalism, which develops along two concurrent lines:
- on the one hand, there is a strong realistic trend: images depict scenes with the intent of rendering them as they are seen in reality;
- on the other certain features are emphasized surrealistically, i. e., in a way that seems to go beyond reality but actually stresses certain elements of the scene in a hyper-realistic manner.
