Description

PBS XIV: The bareheaded, beardless worshipers adore, with one hand up, on either side of the Egyptian crux ansata, the emblem of life. They wear a fringed robe girded about. A female worshiper with long hanging hair, and the same dress, adores win the same manner. The emblems around are the ampulla, the Hittite libra with a knob in the middle, and a flame like addition on the upper end, a dove and a fish. Two border lines frame the scene in.

Cyl seal. Hematite, 19 x 9 mm. MS Coll.
