The Melishipak kudurru-Land grant to Marduk-apal-iddina I is a boundary stone (kudurru) of Melišipak, a Kassite ruler of Babylon ca. 1186 – 1172 BC (short chronology). The land grant was made to his son, Marduk-apal-iddina I.
At least 3 kudurrus of Melishipak are known.
Some kudurrus are known for their representations of the king, etc, who consigned it. Most kudurrus portray Mesopotamian godds, who are often portrayed graphically in segmented registers on the stone.
The Land grant to Marduk-apal-iddina I kudurru only contains symbols of gods. The father, the son, and a witness are portrayed.
