CBS Register: Babylonian seal cylinder in hematite. small piece broken out

PBS XIV: The worshiping of Martu as above, but with the divine assistant standing behind. A long fillet seems to hang from her hair down her back. In front of the god a bearded human worshiper adores with one hand up. He has a conical hat with brim after the Hittite style, his hair tied in a short swallow tail, necklace and bracelets, and a long fringed robe perhaps with short sleeves, and embroidery in front below the girdle. He is probably the owner of the seal. Concave cyl. seal, with a piece broken off. Hematite, 20 ½ x 10mm
