Sealing

PBS XIV: Equestrian runner standing on one leg on the back of a horse at full gallop. The man bends forward, one arm extended over the head of the horse, the other drawn back and folded as if shooting with a bow. A flying falcon - or a winged sun (?) - seems to pursue a fish or a bird. The scene is full of life and action and suggests hunting and reaching anywhere, in the air, on earth, or in the water, true to the inspiration of the Greek art.

Impress. of a stone seal on a clay bulla. Nippur, 1895, Murashu’s house.
