Inscriptions on Glazed Bricks (text no. 71)

71

A blue glazed brick fragment discovered at Nineveh bears a two-line inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king, probably Ashurbanipal, commemorating the defeat of Elam. The outlines of the signs are white, while their interiors are filled in with red. The brick presumably formed part of a much larger inscription that no longer exists.
