Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This is the upper (top) register (the image of heroism) which shows Dadudha (left) in a position of a slayer, tending on the defeated and slain King of Qabara, Banu-Ishtar. A standing male figure (right) adores Dadusha; this is probably a crown-prince or a military general. The sun-disc with its rays of Shamash, combined with the crescent of Sin, appears at the central upper part.
Stele of Dadusha, king of Eshnunna, c. 1800 BCE. From Eshnunna (modern-day Tell Asmar), in modern-day Diyala Governorate, Iraq. The Iraq Museum in Baghdad, Old-Babylonian Gallery. The narrow sides were inscribed with 220 lines of a cuneiform text divided into 17 columns. Dadudha was a king of Eshnunna and this stele commemorates his victory over the city of Qabara in Arbela (modern-day Erbil, in Iraqi Kurdistan) and its king Banu-Ishtar, with the help of king Shamshi-Addu of Ekallatum. |
