CBS Register: seal cylinder, hematite

PBS XIV: Adad steps forth, the thunder bolt in one hand, the hammer or scimitar in the other, his bare leg lifted on a crouched bull. He has a conical turban perhaps adorned with a pair of horns, his hair tied in a short tail, a tunic girded about and reaching to the knees. A small nude kneeling figure in front adores with one hand up. On the reverse, two ithyphallic Eabani hold a spear of Marduk on a small base. Cyl. seal. Hematite, 18 x 7 mm.
