Memi And Sabu Similarities
Both the Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu and the Statue of Gudea have many similarities and differences.

The Gudea statue exists for a bit of a selfish reason: he wanted to install statues of himself in his temples. The Memi and Sabu statue, on the other hand, was created to try to provide food to the deceased. This seems like the opposite, since the statue was maintained by others to help the husband and wife
