| Description | CBS Register: Babylonian seal cylinder, basalt (+ -) PBS XIV: Two divine attendants adore with both hands up on either side of inscription. They have the usual horned mitre, hair tied in a loop, and a flounced robe. They pray for the owner of the seal, a servant of Martu. The god is not represented on the seal. Was he so recently arrived in the land that the artist was at a loss how to figure him? The inscription, a substitute for a figure, insists that he is a supreme god like Anu. “Ili-ippahirsam//son of Taribum//servant of Anu Martu.” Concave cyl. seal. Black diorite, 28 ½ 13 mm. |
