==La stele==
Il monumento completo, come é stato ricostruito ed esposto al Louvre, dovrebbe essere alto 1.80 m, largo 1.30 m, spesso
La stele può essere considerata propria dell'usanza tra la metà e la fine del terzo millennio a.C. in [[Mesopotamia]] di celebrare le vittorie militari con monumenti in pietra. Un monumento simile é la stele della vittoria di [[Naram-Sin]], realizzata durante l'[[impero Accadico|periodo Accadico]], successivo al periodo protodinastico III<ref>{{cita libro |titolo=Ancient Mesopotamia.

[[File:Stele of Vultures detail 02.jpg|right|thumb|Un frammento della stele degli avvoltoi con teste umane mozzate nei becchi e un frammento di un'iscrizione di [[scrituttura cuneiforme]] |alt=See caption]]
Il lato storico é diviso in quattro registri orizzontali. Il registro superiore mostra [[Eannatum]], l'''[[ENSI|ensi]]'', il signore di [[Lagash]], alla guida [[Falange (militare)|falange]]
Il ister shows soldiers marching with shouldered spears behind the king, who is riding a chariot and holding a spear. In the third register, a small part of a possibly seated figure can be seen. In front of him, a cow is tethered to a pole while a naked priest standing on a pile of dead animal bodies performs a [[libation]] ritual on two plants spouting from vases. Left of these scenes is a pile of naked bodies surrounded by skirted workers with baskets on their head. Only a small part of the fourth register has been preserved, showing a hand holding a spear that touches the head of an enemy.<ref name=winter/> Some Sumerologists have proposed reconstructing a caption near the enemy as "Kalbum, King of Kish".<ref>Thorkild Jacobsen, ''Toward the image of Tammuz and other essays on Mesopotamian history and culture'' 1970, p. 393; Eva Strommenger, ''Five thousand years of the art of Mesopotamia'' 1964 p. 396</ref> The inscriptions on the stele are badly preserved. They fill the negative spaces in the scenes and run continuously from one side to the other. The text is written in [[Sumerian language|Sumerian]] [[cuneiform script]]. From these inscriptions it is known that the stele was commissioned by Eannatum, an ''ensi'' or ruler of Lagash around 2460 BC. On it, he describes a conflict with [[Umma]] over a tract of agricultural land located between the two city-states.<ref name=winter/> The conflict ends in a battle in which Eannatum, described as the beloved of the god Ningirsu, triumphs over Umma. After the battle, the leader of Umma swears that he will not transgress into the territory of Lagash again upon penalty of divine punishment.<ref>{{cite book |title=Presargonic Period (2700-2350 BC) |last=Frayne |first=Douglas R. |year=2008 |publisher=University of Toronto Press |___location=Toronto |isbn=978-0-8020-3586-8 |pages=126–140 |series=Royal Inscriptions of Mesopotamia: Early Periods |volume=1 }}</ref>
