relief

Annubanini was a contemporary of Sargon of Akkad . The ancient oriental research gained him attention by an Akkadian monumental inscription on a rock at Sarpol e-Sahab (in the province of Kermanshah ). The discoverer of this rock relief, Ernst Herzfeld (1879–1948), wrote in 1941 among other things:

“There are three sculptures on the rocks behind the village of Sarpul on the Baghdad-Hamadan road. The most elaborate one represents a triumph of Annubanini, king of the Lullu, a tribe related to the Kashshu. [...] From the Akkadian inscription we may infer the time of Naram Sin of Akkad as the date of the sculpture. "

“There are three sculptures on the rocks behind the village of Sarpul on the Baghdad – Hamadan road. The most elaborate is the victory of King Annubanini of the Lulubi, a tribe related to the Kashshu. [...] From the Akkadian inscription, we can assume that the sculpture dates from the time of Naram-Sin of Akkad. "
