She has a horned mitre, her long hair hanging on her back, a flounced robe, a cubic seat, slightly hollowed. The seal is half broken. The divine attendant leading and the worshiper are both lost. They were followed by a servant in short loin cloth with fringes on one side, carrying a kid or young antelope as an offering, and a female servant – the wife of the worshiper (?) – with liquid offering in a pail. She has a fillet about her head, her hair tied in a loop behind, armrings and necklace. Her breasts are carefully marked. Her fringed robe has armlets reaching above the elbows, unless the lines above the elbows be rings on a bare arm. Concave cyl. seal. Half broken. Limestone, 40 x 25 mm. Shatra, 1891 |
