Description

CBS Register: Babylonian seal cylinder, carnelian

PBS XIV: The worshiping of a god stepping forth like Shamash, one bare leg lifted on a base, one arm extended, the other folded to his breast – perhaps holding a club or a scimitar. He has a horned conical mitre, his hair tie din a loop, a plaited shawl girded about and opening in front. A worshiper in turban and short tunic steps forth like Martu but without his club. There is an unfinished emblem, a fly (?). Concave cyl. seal. Brown agate, 17 x 8 ½ mm
