CBS Register: Babylonian seal cylinder, fragment, soapstone

PBS XIV: The worshiping of a seated goddess in flounced robe. In front of her is a vase with a palm and two branches of dates hanging on either side. Her cubic seat is slightly hollowed, with a low curved back. Her feet rest on a footstool, raised like the seat on a dais or brick base, above the ground on which stands the worshiper. The latter, probably a divine attendant with horned mitre and plaited robe, lifts her two hands up. Broken cyl. seal. Diorite, 12 mm diameter
