Kudurru of Melishihu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kudurru of Melishihu is a grey limestone 0.7-meter tall boundary stone (kudurru) from ancient Babylonia, which is now housed at the Louvre.

The obverse is composed of five iconographic registers, with representations of gods, humans and animals. Notable is probably the snake in Register V.

The reverse is a semicircular surface–in–the–round with three columns of cuneiform text.
