Detailed explanation-1: -In a shift away from earlier Sumerian art, Akkadian art was more realistic. In bronzes, massive stone carvings and tiny cylinder seals, we see emphasis on naturalism. Cylinder seals were cylindrical stones carved with figures that when pressed into clay served as official signatures.
Detailed explanation-2: -There is growing evidence that the Sumerians and the Akkadians coexisted as the Sumerians were gradually assimilated into the Akkadian Empire. The Akkadians appeared to share cultural aspects of the Sumerians such as cuneiform writing, and borrowed terms from the Sumerian language. Bilingualism was probably common.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like the Akkadians, they liberally appropriated Sumerian creative traditions, producing ziggurats, cuneiform writing, relief sculpture, and cylinder seals.
