Description | CBS Register: Seal cyl. Hematite. PBS XIV: The worshiping of a standing bearded (?) god, in turban, flounced robe, his hair tied behind, and both hands clasped to his breast, holding no scepter nor weapons. A bearded worshiper dressed like him brings a kid as an offering. The symbols between are a bee or fly, a goat fish, a small kneeling figure in short tunic and with clasped hands. Behind the god there are a star, a rampant lion, a winged dragon with a feather tail. Nin-si-an-na//Kabta Kabta, perhaps a cassite god, is mentioned on documents of the First Dynsasty of Babylon.
