Diorite fragment of a victory stele, probably of Sargon of Akkad
Excavated at Susa (Iran)
Akkadian period, ca. 2300-2245 BCEThis fragment depicts a king or god holding a net full of captured nude enemies and smiting one whose head sticks out with a mace. This is a theme taken from earlier royal artworks such as the “Stele of the Vultures” of Eannatum of Lagash. The goddess Ishtar is seen seated on the right.
Musée du Louvre, Paris (Sb. 2)
