Cylinder Seal

CBS Register: Seal cyl. Brown white porphyry. Bismaya.

PBS XIV: The worshiping of a seated goddess with hand extended below the crescent. She has the usual horned mitre, hair tied in a loop, flounced robe, and cubic seat resting on a dais. Three emblems behind her seem recut over two lines of inscription. They are a squat monkey, a scorpion, a passing bird, perhaps symbols of Aa, Ishhara and Bau. The divine assistant with the same mitre and hair but a plaited robe covering one should, leads by the hand the shaven and shorn worshiper in a fringed shawl. Both adore with their free hand up. Concave cyl. seal. Brown and white diorite, 36 ½ x 14 mm. Bismaya.
