Lagash is north of Kish.

The distance between Ur and Uruk is approximately 120 kilometers, while the distance between Ur and Lagash is around 160 kilometers. Assuming similar modes of transportation and speed, it would likely take longer to travel from Ur to Lagash due to the greater distance. However, factors such as road conditions, traffic, and available transportation options could also impact travel time.

The statue were to represent the ruler in the temple, to offer consent prayer. Most of the votive statues bear a dedication explaining to which god it was dedicated. This statue, was mad for Guedea's ruler of Lagash, which was the only city-state that the Akkaidians could not get control over. It's made out of Diorite, which is a hard stone to carve in, but than other types, which is why thousands of Guedea votives still survive today. Guedea considered himself the ultimate god, and to keep contact with the other gods he kept many statues in various temples around Lagash. Which that's were the piece was found. -Liz
