| Description | CBS Register: seal cylinder, jade like green mineral PBS XIV: A nude hunter with head in profile, short hair in the neck, a pointed beard and a loin cloth, seizes a bull by the leg and throat. An ithyphallic Eabani fights in the same manner with a lion. There is a curious inscription. “Baba//son of Duggazidda//the lord scepter bearer” This title, engraved between the bull and the hunter, applies perhaps to the latter, a ruler – nash hatti – like Gilgamesh, and victorious in his contest – bel tuqmati – with wild animals. Cyl. seal. Green jadelike stone, 23 ½ x 13 ½ mm. Bagdad, 1889. |
