Description
CBS Register: Babylonian seal cylinder, calcite stalagmate
PBS XIV: The worshiping in front of a symbol of vegetation, a palm with two hanging branches or fruits, on a triangular support which may represent a mountain or simply a sheaf. The two worshipers have a bare head, a beard, a long plaited robe, and one hand up in sigh of adoration. This is perhaps an early Babylonian tree of life.
