This 2-metre-high limestone stela was discovered by Jacques de Morgan in 1898. It dates from the 3^rd millennium BCE, and commemorates the victory of the Akkadian King Naram-Sin, over the Lullubi, a mountain tribe. The king wears a conical helmet with horns, a symbol traditionally associated with the gods.

Although the stela celebrates the glory of a Mesopotamian sovereign, it also tells the story of the victory of an Elamite king. It was brought from Mesopotamia to Susa by a 12^th century BCE Elamite king, along with other booty collected during the war. This king, Shutruk-Nahhunte, added an inscription dedicated to his own glory and in which he declares that the stela was carried off after the looting of the city of Sippar.
