Ur-Ningirsu
Ur-Ningirsu (Sumerian: 𒌨𒀭𒎏𒄈𒋢, Ur-D-nin-gir-su; died c. 2119 BC) also Ur-Ningirsu II in contrast with the earlier Ur-Ningirsu I, was a Sumerian ruler (ensi) of the state of Lagash in Southern Mesopotamia who ruled c. 2120 BC. He was the son of the previous ruler of Lagash named Gudea.
A statue of Ur-Ningirsu, dedicated to Ningishzida (Sumerian: 𒀭𒎏𒄑𒍣𒁕, DNin-ḡiš-zi-da), is shared by The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York, and the Musée du Louvre, as they own separately the head and the body of the statue, respectively. The statue has an inscription in the back, which reads:
"For Ningišzida, his (personal) god, Ur-Ningirsu, ruler of Lagash, son of Gudea, ruler of Lagash, who built Ningirsu’s Eninnu, fashioned his (own) statue. I am the one beloved of his (personal) god; let my life be long - (this is how) he named that statue for his (Ningirsu’s) sake, and he brought it to him into his House"
— Inscription of Statue A of Ur-Ningirsu. AO 9504 Louvre Museum.
Also found was a foundation cone describing Ur-Ningirsu's construction of several temples.
