PBS XIV: The worshiping of Adad standing thunderbolt in hand on the back of a passing bull. A rope leads from his hand to the nose of the bull. His second hand seems to press to his chest another weapon. He has a conical hat, perhaps adorned with horns, his hair tied behind and a short tunic.

There is no worshiper but an inscription with his name between the god and the divine attendant who adores with one hand up.
