To determine which of the following is NOT a description of the Sumerian statues from Tell Asmar, we need to evaluate each option individually.
1. "Tall, bearded figures with huge, staring eyes and long, pleated skirts" - This is a typical description of Sumerian statues from Tell Asmar. These characteristics are commonly seen in their artwork, so it matches the description.
2. "Made from stone and marble" - This can be a possible description of the statues, as Sumerian art utilized various materials including stone and marble. It is not clear if this is a correct or incorrect description without more information.
3. "Are all similar in size and weight" - This statement is true since Sumerian statues from Tell Asmar typically had a consistent size and weight. It matches the description.
4. "Bodies are cylindrical with uplifted heads and hands clasped" - This is also a common characteristic of Sumerian statues from Tell Asmar. They often depicted figures with cylindrical bodies and uplifted heads with clasped hands.
