| Description | PBS XIV: The worshiping of Martu by the divine attendant as above. The emblems between are a goat fish, a tortoise, symbols of Ea and his wife (?), and a small human figure in turban and short tunic adoring with one hand up. He is perhaps the owner of the seal. His small stature proves him to be an humble servant of the god. “Nin-shubur//pure heavenly messenger//who wields the brilliant scepter” Concave cyl. seal. Hematite, 26 ½ x 14 mm. MS Coll. |
