Title: Nazimaruttash Kudurru, Boundary Stone

Caption: The Nazimaruttash kudurru stone is a boundary stone (kudurru) of Nazimaruttas, a Kassite king of Babylon, (1307-1282 BC). Most kudurrus portray Mesopotamian gods, which are often portrayed graphically in segmented registers on the stone. Nazimaruttash's kudurru does not use registers. Instead, graphic symbols are used. Nineteen deities are invoked to curse the foolhardy individual who seeks to desecrate it. Some are represented by symbols, such as a goat-fish for Enki or a bird on a pole for Papsukkal, a spear-head for Marduk or an eight-pointed star for Ishtar. Shamash is represented by a disc.
