Summary
DescriptionCylinder Seal, Old Babylonian, formerly in the Charterhouse Collection 09.jpg |
English: The king with a mace, who stands on a rectangular chequer-board dais, follows the suppliant goddess (with necklace counterweight), and the robed king with an animal offering. They stand before the ascending Sun god who holds a saw-toothed blade and rests his foot on a couchant human-headed bull (full face).
Traces remain of an inscription (probably of four lines) erased in antiquity. The style of this seal suggests that it was made in a Sippar workshop. Haematite; chipped. 3.05 x 1.66 cm. This seal was among eight given to the school by Leonard Marshall in 1896. Ex. Charterhouse Collection (Charterhouse registry no. 2-1956-22) Published: Moorey, P.R.S. and Gurney, O.R.
