| Description | CBS Register: seal cylinder in limestone PBS XIV: The worshiping of a standing bearded god, with hand extended low and touching the muzzle of a seated gazelle or antelope. He has a horned mitre, his hair tied in a loop, a flounced robe. He is a god of hunting like Ninib. The emblems around are a large caduceus with notched handle, symbol of Ishtar and Ninib, a crescent on a short support, and a sun disk with cross and rays. A bearded worshiper in turban and flounced robe brings a kid as an offering. The usual divine attendant adores with one hand up. The emblems in front of her are the ampulla and libra and a human head of a servant or enemy; and behind her a star over a fox or jackal, the rare emblem of Gula the companion wife of Ninib. On the reverse Eabani and Gilgamesh in front face and ithyphallic hold the lance of Marduk over a crouched animal, probably the horned wingless dragon. Cyl. seal. Limestone, 30 x 16 1/2 mm.
