Comparative locations of Behistun and the Anubanini rock reliefs.

The Anubanini petroglyph, also called Sar-e Pol-e Zohab II[1] or Sarpol-i Zohab relief,[2] is a rock relief from the Akkadian Empire period (circa 2300 BC) or the Isin-Larsa period (early second millennium BC) and is located in Kermanshah Province, Iran.[2][1] The rock relief is believed to belong to the Lullubi culture and is located 120 kilometers away from the north of Kermanshah, close to Sarpol-e Zahab. Lullubi reliefs are the earliest rock reliefs of Iran, later ones being the Elamite reliefs of Eshkaft-e Salman and Kul-e Farah.
