Cylinder seal with depiction of a ziggurat
Date created: 13th century BCE
Location: Babylon, Iraq

Cylindrical seal with three Personals with mushkhushshu
Eyed sardonyx quartz (probably artifically dyed agate) cylinder seal; banded, brown, white-brown and white; a bearded god (probably the moon god Sin) in a tall, horizontally-ridged, crescent-topped, cylindrical head-dress, holding a staff in one hand and raising the other, rises from a crescent and hovers facing right, before a bearded worshipper, who wears a round, narrow-brimmed hat and raises one hand. Back to back with this worshipper stands another identical figure, who raises one hand before a couchant ‘mushhushshu’ dragon (a composite creature) with the spade of Marduk on a stand on its back. All three figures wear vertically-fringed, double-belted robes. The figures are small in relation to the height of the seal

Grey-blue chalcedony cylinder seal; two figures sit on camp stools facing each other and raising shallow cups, on either side of a cross-legged table which has bull’s legs; on the table lies a fish and above a star and a crescent; behind the figure on the right stands an attendant with a fly-whisk, and behind the attendant are a winged disc, the Pleiades and a rhomb. All three figures have identical shoulder-length hairstyles and wear wide-belted robes with a fringe round the hem, lines across the chest and double lines across the skirt; the attendant also has lines indicating pleating at the back of his robe. The figure on the left is bearded; the other two are clean-shaven, but the attendant wears a sword and is therefore male.

Hematite cylinder seal; the king with a mace, wearing a tiered and horned (?) head-dress, faces the suppliant goddess on a base-line; between them is a couchant, hump-backed bull, facing right, supporting a lightning fork on its back; the traces of an earlier inscription and frame can be seen. The bull and lightning fork, the amended head-dress of the king and patterning of the goddess’s robe are probably due to the same recutting; edges chipped.
