Légende
A Babylonian boundary stone (kudurru), Kassite dynasty, about 1125-1100 BC, probably from southern Iraq. The cuneiform inscription records the gift of land near Edina in South Babylonia to Gula-eresh by Eanna-shum-iddina, the Governor of the 'Sea-land' (the Persian Gulf). The symbols of the gods on the stone represent the gods invoked to protect the deed, and a curse is made on any who break it. From the British Museum's collection.
