Quadrangular tablet inscribed with a long cuneiform text "I, Untash Gal, son of Hubannumena, king of Anzan and Susa, have obtained a long life: my health is prosperous. Of term... to my lineage I shall not have. That's why I've built a brick-vaulted temple, a sublime sanctuary. To the god Inshushinak, Lord of this holy place, I donated it. I raised a ziggurat (multi-storey tower) to the heavens. Let the god Inshushinak accept the offering of my labours and my works". Untash Gal (now Untash Napirisha), Elamite king of the Igehalkid dynasty. Terracotta 12 x 8.5 cm Elam 13th century B.C.
