Cylinder Seal

CBS Register: Babylonian seal cylinder, menaccanite

PBS XIV: The worshiping of Marduk, standing up, scimitar in hand, one foot lifted on his crouched dragon. The animal has a horned crown and a tress of hair. The god has a horned mitre, a beard, his hair tied in a swallow tail, a flounced robe covering one shoulder. The emblems around are his spear, a seven dot star or sun, a six pointed star. A worshiper in turban, fringed shawl, his hair tied in a short tail, adores with one hand up. The divine attendant does the same with both hands. Behind the god a priestly attendant – perhaps a figure of Nabu – stands with clasped hands. He has a turban, a beard, his hair tied behind, a flounced robe. There are libra and an ampulla in the field. Concave cyl. seal. Hematite, 23 ½ x 10 mm.
