About Bara-irnun

Bara-irnun ( bara-ir-nun;

The original royal line of Umma consisted in the filiation of Enakalle (possibly son of Ush) and his own son Ur-Lumma. King Il was then succeeded by his own son Gishakidu. Bara-irnum married her cousin Gishakidu, thus re-uniting both strands of the royal family by a marital alliance.

The plaque is the first known mention of Shara, tutelary god of Umma.
