Description

PBS XIV: Three bearded worshipers or gods with turbans and long hair step forth, one bare arm hanging, the other folded and covered by their fringed, embroidered shawl passing over one shoulder. The shawl hangs to the ankles behind but is raised in front above the knees and shows the tassels of the belt girded about the tunic. There are rhombs between them and crouched human headed bisons in the register above.

“Nin-eanna//…though hast called…//…life…//…happy days…//…love…//for the servants who worship thee.”

Seal impress. on fragments of a tablet envelope, and of a bulla with marks of strings. Nippur.
