| Description | CBS Register: Babylonian seal cylinder, hematite PBS XIV: The worshiping of a seated bearded god holding a small cup. He has a turban, a fringed shawl, a seat covered with rows of flounced material. Two worshipers in turban and fringed shawl stand in front, the first with clasped hands, the second adoring with one hand up. Behind the god a reversed Eabani holds a lance, and two small figures are opposed feet to feet. One is a bearded worshiper in turban and fringed shawl adoring with one hand up. The second is a bandy legged figure, perhaps a symbol of the vanquished enemy whose knees gave way under him. This figure is new and not found before the First Dynasty of Babylon and the Amorite domination. Concave cyl. seal. Hematite, 18 ½ x 10 ½ mm. |
