A kudurru fragment in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Abstract

In the Annual Report of the Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1984-1985) a new fragment of the upper part of a boundary stone (kudurru) of the Second Dynasty of Isin was included as a purchase by the museum. This kudurru fragment preserves remains of iconographic motifs and cuneiform signs. Unfortunately, as yet there are no publications focused on the study of the iconography and inscription with photographs and drawings. This contribution provides an edition, translation, drawing and discussion of the kudurru fragment which is its first detailed study and also allows it to be given a specific date.
