Abstract
Ilamid is one of the significant eras in the history of Iran. Numerous inscriptions have been found from this era. The vast territorial area of Ilamid has lead to the finding of news inscriptions. Present paper introduces a newly found inscribed brick in Qal'e Afqan excavations in the province of Lordegan in Charmahal state in 1996. This inscribed brick belongs to Hutelutush- Insushnak (1120-1135 AD.). The related inscription is written vertically.
