THE CLOTHING THAT PEOPLE IN ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA WORE

The normal day of a Mesopotamian was based on mostly their work.  The majority of the people worked at farming.  Other than farmers there was potters, builders, traders, slaves, servants, priests, kings, and elders. Their clothes consisted of a garment which was a flounced skirt.  The skirts varied in length according to the owner's will. The upper part of the body was often left bare. Woman's skirts appear to be less elaborate in cut but more varied in color compared to the men's. Sumerian Princesses dressed in colorful clothes and head dresses. Their jewelry was made from gold, silver, and bright stones such as lazuli and carnelian.

This is the Jewelry  that a average woman would wear.

WHAT KINDS OF POTTERY DID THE MESOPOTAMIAN HAVE?

To make the pots the people of Uruk used special wheels called potting wheels.  To make them they could only use clay.  They make very shinny pots without design.
