Fascinating!
I have to ask, if you bought it at Goodwill, did you pay much for the kuduru?

[@BiblicalCulture]

Thanks Lois 🙏🏻 I vaguely remember $50 though it’s been a long time

[@fransvalkenburg1156]

👍👍👍

[@dlshadomery5633]

can you tell the price of orginal kudurru? thnak you

[@hamaomari3275]

What’s the price of the real kudurru stones ?

[@ascender144k]

Do you think Israelites regarded such graven objects (admittedly, very fascinating to research) as idols per se?

[@BiblicalCulture]

Yes, definitely idolatry. Everything about this Kudurru would have likely been forbidden in Israel, from the text to the images.
