| Description | incomplete impression of seal with fine cuneiform inscription. also finger prints. Matthews: "Shapeless lump. 22 (ext) x 35 (ext). Composite. Inscription in at least six vertical lines. Seated man on groundline - there is no direct connection between his upper and lower parts. The clumsiness of his "hand" suggests that the form may be the product of overrolling. Inscription: the penultimate preserved line names the goddess Nin-Eanna. The next line might be restored: "Burnaburiash." |
