Cuneiform Brick, Choqa Zanbil

The inscriptions bear the name of King Untash Naprisha (13th Century B.C.E).
Some of the inscriptions threaten "May the curse of the holy area of Inshushinak, Naprisha, Kiririsha befall on the person who destroys, harms or relocates its gold, silver, opal, stone or bricks and may his descendants be removed underneath the sun."
