Abstract
The study of terracotta animal dolls in Mesopotamia is one of the important artistic topics that gave us valuable information from a technical point of view, especially the knowledge of animals in the ancient Iraqi environment, as well as being an important reliable guide in determining the period of time that they lived in Mesopotamia. Animal puppets are important artistic relics and a source for studying art and its development through different ages, and that animal puppets were evidence of the living of these animals in the regions of Mesopotamia
