The Anubanini rock relief is a carved royal monument near Sarpol-e Zahab in Kermanshah province, Iran, dated to about 2300 BC and attributed to Anubanini, a king of the Lullubi people. It shows Anubanini standing with a foot on the chest of a defeated captive, flanked by eight further bound prisoners and by the goddess Ishtar, identifiable by the tiered horns of her headdress and the weapons at her shoulders, while an accompanying Akkadian inscription names Anubanini as king of the Lullubi and records that he raised the monument on Mount Batir. The composition of the relief, a victorious king trampling an enemy before a company of bound captives and a witnessing deity, anticipates the much later Achaemenid reliefs at Behistun; the monument sustained significant damage during the Iran-Iraq War.
