The high style is of an alabaster model and basically is a statue of a bald-headed man standing with his hands clasped in front of him. But to what seems so plain, there are a lot of interesting ways to describe the descriptions of his face, eyes, dressing, and other features. The votive statue of Eannatum has pearl type inlays and a modern bitumin inlay.

Tabernacle Katelyn Barry Box # 1845 11/15/12 History Of Ancient Israel 1 David Fish Barry 1 The Tabernacle and its Furnishings I have taken an interest in the tabernacle and its furnishings, so I have decided to write my research paper on it. Exodus is where the Israelites got the instructions on how to build the tabernacle. God did not leave out a single detail. In Exodus 25 God gives Moses instructions to take up an offering to make the tabernacle. God told Moses to take an offering of “gold, silver, and bronze; blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair; ram skins dyed red and manatee skins; acacia wood; oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; and onyx along with other gemstones
This should be differently stated because the arch itself was not originated by the Romans, but it was applied with great skill and success to various works of utility, and they made it a universal feature in civil buildings. This arch also influenced in the making of the vault and the dome. Both of those concepts come from the arch. The Roman dome was a hemisphere supported by a circular wall. An example of the dome can be seen in the temple called the Pantheon.

Secondly, another key difference is about the subject matter. The Greeks were fond of making statues of the various gods, creatures of mythology, athletic and strong character. Polykleitos is a young man holding a spear.
