He wears the same conical hat as above, after the style of the god Teshub or the Hittite goddesses. He has a long beard, his hair tied in a short tail, a plaited shawl girded about and opening in front. A bearded worshiper in turban and fringed shawl adores with one hand up. A second worshiper or divine attendant does the same with both hands. She has her hair bound by a fillet and tied in a short tail and a plaited robe girded about. Behind the god a small bandy legged man lifts one hand up. The phallus or the end of his belt is seen hanging. Cyl. seal. Hematite, 18 x 8 mm |
