PBS XIV: The worshiping of a seated goddess with hand extended below a crescent. She has a horned mitre, her hair tied in a loop behind, a flounced robe, a cubic seat. Behind her a large club is probably the emblem of her ware activity. A divine attendant dressed like her, but with a plaited shawl covering one shoulder, leads by the hand the bareheaded worshiper in a fringed shawl. Both adore with one hand up. Cyl seal. Grey diorite, 16 x 8 1/2 mm
