Description

CBS Register: Seal cylinder. Hematite. Black. Ur, I Dyn.

PBS XIV: The worshiping of a god in short tunic stepping forth like Martu, but without any weapons. The divine attendant with the usual horned mitre, hair tied in a loop, and flounced robe adores with both hands up. Between them there are a flying bird, and a crooked stick of Martu on a crouched ibex. On the reverse, a nude Zirbanit, in front face, with curls of hair on either side, stands up, her hands to her breasts, her hips barred by a few lines. Other emblems are an eight pointed star and a spear of Marduk.
