Description

detail of the head of the male enthroned divinity (Inshushinak?) wearing a horned hat on the central panel of the Elamite Rock relief of Kurangun. Above him, a "ribboned" cloud of either smoke or vapor.
Attribution of the male deity in the relief to Inshushinak, in a comment on the fish-woman in the middle on the Untash Napirisha stele in "Female, Fish and Frying Pan: An Enigmatic Funerary Object Unique to Elam" in (8 June 2023) Susa and Elam II, pp. 394–440 DOI: 10.1163/9789004541436_013. :
"This fish-woman is presumably associated with Inshushinak, the deity mentioned in the stele inscription and probably the god shown in the top register handing a ring and rod to the king.[24] Note 24: This god is probably to be associated with the main deity on the Kurangun relief and another at Naqsh-e Rustam, both of which are related to the Mesopotamian Enki/Ea (Aruz1992: 130)."

Taken in Seh Talan village, Fahlian district, Vicinity of Noorabad, Fars province, Iran, May 2009.
