Description

PBS XIV: The worshiping of a seated goddess with hand extended below the crescent. She has the usual horned mitre, hair tied in a loop, flounced robe and cubic seat resting on a dais. The divine attendant, with the same mitre and hair but a plaited robe covering one shoulder, leads by the hand the shaven and shorn worshiper in a fringed shawl. Both adore with their free hand up.
