- Description
-
Aragonite (shell core) cylinder seal; vegetation god scene; a bearded figure, wearing a flat cap and knee-branches (?), carries a long-haired goat. He follows two bearded figures, each wearing a striped skirt and both with their hair curling up at the back. They are approaching a seated god, also indentically attired, who raises his right hand and seems to be gesturing enquiringly. Before him, as on the previous seal, is a branch of vegetation and, again as on the previous seal, there is a star-standard between the first and second figures of the procession.
