Based on the options provided, without seeing the photograph, it's difficult to determine which specific Sumerian art form it depicts. However, here are brief descriptions of the options:
1. **Ivory Netsuke**: These are typically small carved figures used as toggles for holding objects in Japanese culture, not Sumerian.
2. **Stone Stelae**: These are upright stone slabs or columns that are often inscribed with texts or carvings and are commonly associated with ancient civilizations, including Sumerians.
3. **Cuneiform Printing**: This refers to the writing system used by the Sumerians, often inscribed on clay tablets with a stylus.
If the photograph shows a carved upright stone with inscriptions or relief artworks, it would likely represent **stone stelae**. If it shows writing or impressions in clay, it may represent **cuneiform printing**.
Based on typical Sumerian art forms, if the image is of stone carvings or a stone slab, the answer would most likely be **stone stelae**.
