Marduk-nadin-ahhe kudurru

Marduk-nadin-ahhe kudurru

The Marduk-nadin-ahhe kudurru is a black limestone boundary stone (kudurru) of Marduk-nadin-ahhe, who ruled ca. 1100 BC – 1082 BC in Dynasty IV of Babylon.

Some kudurrus are known for their representations of the king, etc, who consigned it. Most kudurrus represent Mesopotamian gods, which are often displayed graphically in segmented registers on the stone.

The Marduk-nadin-ahhe kudurru shows the king standing in royal garb, holding a bow and two arrows. Above his portrayal is one register displaying the gods represented on the boundary stone contract. A caption attests that he is the "Avenger of the People".

The obverse of the kudurru with King Marduk-nadin-ahhe is separated from the reverse by part of a snake, and a text in cuneiform comprises the reverse of the kudurru.
