| Description | PBS XIV: The worshiping of Adad and Shala (?), the storm gods. Adad steps forth with the lightning fork in one hand, the scimitar lifted high in the other. He has a short tunic and his bare leg rests on a crouched bull. A nude Gilgamesh in front face presses to his breast a spouting vase, symbol of rain or libation. Shala steps forth like Ishtar, her bare leg lifted on a low mount. Her weapon is the nine headed club. She has a horned mitre, her hair tied in a loop, a plaited shawl girded about and opening in front. A worshiper in long robe adores with one hand up. Between them in the field there is a small two handled vase. Seal impression on a clay bulla with marks of strings and a short inscription on the reverse. About the time of the 1st Babylonian Dynasty. Nippur. |
