| Description | CBS Register: Babylonian seal cylinder, soapstone PBS XIV: The worshiping of a seated god with horned mitre, a beard, a flounced robe, and his hair tied in a loop behind. His characteristic emblems placed on either side seem to be two colossal clubs with five heads, and two serpents whose tails seem to unite to form a thunderbolt over an indistinct crouched animal, with perhaps a straight line between them. He is approached by a goddess with the same mitre, hair, and flounced robe, who leads by the hand a true Sumerian, shaven and shorn and dressed in a fringed shawl. Both lift their free hand in sign of adoration. There are above a crescent and a sun disk with a star. Concave cyl. seal. Serpentine, 24 x 12 mm |
