More commonly referred to as kudurrus, these objects first came to the attention of western scholars in 1801 when the explorer Anton Michaux sold a polished black stone that he had discovered near Baghdad to the Bibliotheque National in Paris. In addition to her in-depth study of the setting of these objects and the inscriptions and relief sculptures carved on them, Slanski places the kudurrus squarely within the monumental tradition in Mesopotamia. This volume promises to be a significant contribution for Assyriologists and anyone interested in the history and artistic traditions of ancient Mesopotamia. 410 0$aASOR books ;$vv. 9. 606 $aStele (Archaeology)$zIraq$zBabylonia 606 $aBoundary stones$zIraq$zBabylonia 606 $aCuneiform inscriptions, Akkadian 606 $aRelief (Sculpture), Assyro-Babylonian 615 0$aStele (Archaeology) 615 0$aBoundary stones 615 0$aCuneiform inscriptions, Akkadian. 615 0$aRelief (Sculpture), Assyro-Babylonian. 676 $a935/.02 686 $aNG 4000$2rvk 686 $aNG 4060$2rvk 700 $aSlanski$b Kathryn E$01869153 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971097303321 996 $aThe Babylonian entitlement narus (kudurrus)$94477350 997 $aUNINA
