What does it say around the top?

“For Ningirsu, the hero of Enlil,
Enmetena, ruler of Lagash,
chosen by the heart of Nanshe,
chief ruler of Ningirsu,
son of Enannatum, ruler of Lagash,
for the king who loved him, Ningirsu,
(this) gurgur-vessel of refined silver,
from which Ningirsu will. consume the monthly oil (offering),
he had fashioned for him.
For his life, before Ningirsu of the Eninnu (temple). he had it set up.
At that time Dudu was the temple administrator of Ningirsu”.Awesome! I did a look and couldn’t find what the inscription said. You’re doing Nanshe’s work here 🙏
Thanks, it’s weird they didn’t throw it on the Wikipedia page.
Sumerian deities are so cool
It is on this page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entemena#Silver_vase_of_Entemena
Thanks!
You delivered!
For sure. Pretty epic inscription.
