Land grant to Munnabittu kudurru

kudurru · limestone · 1,165 BCE

The Land grant to Munnabittu kudurru is an elongated egg-shaped black limestone ancient Mesopotamian narû or entitlement stele (kudurru), 46.5 cm high and 20.5 cm wide, which details the reconfirmation of a gift of 30 GUR of land by Kassite king Marduk-apla-iddina I to his servant Munnabittu, son of Ṭābu-melû. It is significant because, in addition to portraying eighteen divine icons around its top, it lists forty-seven gods in its inscription, more than any other similar object.
