Summary
| Description |
English: This large white limestone stele (the Iraq Museum says obelisk) was found in Lagash, southern Mesopotamia, in modern-day Iraq. Circa 2550 - 2500 BCE. All of the 4 aspects of the obelisk were carved, in reliefs, with different scenes. The frontal surface depicts the Sumerian goddess Nisaba seated, holding what appears to be a palm branch. Ur-Nanshe and his family were depicted in other aspects, and many cuneiform inscriptions can also be seen. Ur-Nanshe was the first king of the First Dynasty of Lagash and reigned from 2550 to 2500 BCE. It is now on display in the Sumerian Gallery of the Iraq Museum in Baghdad, Republic of Iraq. Height 91 cm. IM61404. |
