La '''Stele degli avvoltoi''' é un monumento [[MesopotamiaSumeri| mesopotamicosumerico]] del [[Storia dei Sumeri#protodinastico III (ca. 2600-2350 a.C.)|periodo protodinastico III]] (all'incirca del 2400 a.C.), celebrante una vittoria della città-stato di [[Lagash]] sulla sua vicinavicinavicina [[Umma]].

Essa trae il nome da degli avvoltoi rappresentati in una delle diverse scene di battaglia che raffigura, assieme a scene religiose. La [[stele]] fu inizialmente scolpita su un unico blocco di pietra calcarea, sebbene oggigiorno sono noti solo sette frammenti, attualmente esposti al [[Musée du Louvre|Louvre]].

==Discovery==

The stele is not complete; only seven fragments are known today. The first three fragments were found during excavations in the early 1880s by the French archaeologist [[Ernest de Sarzec]] at the archaeological site of [[Girsu|Tello]], ancient Girsu, in what is today southern [[Iraq]]. Another three fragments came to light during the excavations of 1888–1889. A seventh fragment that was later determined to be part of the Stele of the Vultures and thought to have come from Tello was acquired on the antiquities market by the [[British Museum]] in 1898.
