Treasure of Amar-Sin (c.2047 BC) King of Ur, c.2040 BC. Copper.
Amar-Sin (Akkadian: đ’€đ’€«đ’€đ’‚—đ’ŤŞ: DAmarDSĂ®n, "calf of SĂ®n", the "đ’€" being a silent honorific for "Divine"), initially misread as Bur-Sin (c. 2046–2037 BC middle chronology, or possibly ca. 1982–1973 BC short chronology) was the third ruler of the Ur III Dynasty. He succeeded his father Shulgi (c. 2030–1982 BC). His name translates to 'bull calf of the moon-god'.
