Description

CBS Register: seal cylinder, hematite

PBS XIV: The worshiping of a bearded god standing up with hand extended low. He has a horned mitre, and a plaited robe girded about. A worshiper dressed like him adores with one hand up. The other symbols are a club, a nude Zirbanit with hands clasped to her breast, the ampulla and libra, a winged dragon with feather tail devouring a rampant ibex.

The lower register has several emblems, a fish and a goat fish of Ea, a lion of Nergal attacking a crouched antelope, a grazing antelope perhaps of Sherua a desert goddess. Concave cyl. seal. Hematite, 21 x 8 1/2 mm.

Credit Line Purchased from Khabaza, Baghdad; subscription of R. F. Harper, 1889
