Foundation cone of A'annepada for Inanna, British Museum BM 90951[7][8][9]
A foundation cone in a copper alloy was found in Ur, bearing the name of "King A'annepada" in a dedication for Inanna, now in the British Museum (BM 90951).[7][8][9][10]
The cone was discovered by John Taylor in 1854 during his excavations in Ur.[9] It has a length of 34.3 centimeters, a diameter of 3.7 centimeters, and weighs 1.7 kilograms.[9][8] According to the British Museum, it was found together with two other objects, a carved stone with handle and a lapis lazuli portrait, which together probably formed a foundation deposit.[11]
The actual content of the inscription had been overlooked, until it was published by J.C. Gadd in 1928.[8]
