Votive cone,Sumerian cuneiform
Votive cone with a Sumerian cuneiform inscription. Cuneiform was written by using a pointed stylus to make impressions on clay. Hundreds of votive cones ('nails') would be placed in the wall of a temple,with the head showing for decoration. Only 10 lines are visible here,however,it is thought to be the same inscription as another tablet,translated as follows: 'For Ningirsu,the strong warrior of Enlil,Gudea,Prince of Lagash,has made what will last forever; (Gudea) has built his (Ningirsu's) Enninnu (temple),the flashing thunderbird,and returned it to its place for him'. Gudea of Lagash (2144-2124 BC) was a Sumerian ruler in what is now Iraq
