Brick with Elamite inscription
South-western Iran, ca. 1260- 1235 BC ; cm 12 x 7 (5 x 3’’); Left half of a baked brick inscribed with Untash-Napirisha character, which name is on the first part of the text. In spite of the gaps, it’s possible to complete the inscription with comparison to others baked bricks coming from the ancient City of Untash-Napirisha, a great ziggurat complex, built in the thirteenth century, dedicated to the main god, Ishnikarap. Ninety-four bricks, which were settled on the jambs of the chambers, have the same inscription with the dedication to the god on the right half of the text, missing in the our exemplar.
