*Hymn to Nungal*, a [Sumerian](https://www.worldhistory.org/Sumerians/) poem dated to the Old Babylonian Period (c. 2000-1600 BCE), owing to the number of copies found from that era, but possibly composed during the [Ur](https://www.worldhistory.org/ur/) III Period (2047-1750 BCE).
Exhibit in the Oriental Institute Museum, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
