King Nahhunte reigned the Elamite kingdom from 1185 to 1155 B.C. The brick is inscribed with five lines reading "Shuruk-Nahunte son of Hallutush-Inshushinak, King of Anshan and Susa, I inscribe these bricks in the portico of Inshushiak my god, may what I have made and toiled over be pleasing to you, Inshushinak".
The lot is accompanied by a letter and photos from the Assyriologist Maurice Lambert of the Louvre, dated 16 March 1972, which identifies the brick and translates the inscription according to the photo attached to the letter.
