| Description | PBS XIV: The worshiping of a seated goddess with hand extended. She has a good Babylonian figure, with a fillet about her head, a flounced robe covering the left shoulder, a hollow seat with three legs on one side. There is an Assyrian winged sun disk above, and behind her a servant carries a three pronged fork or caduceus of Ishtar. A bareheaded figure with short embroidered tunic steps forth, hammer in hand like Teshub (?). A bareheaded beardless servant (?) in fringed shawl seems to carry a small pail in his left hand. The reverse has familiar Hittite emblems, a crouched winged griffin (?) with a long curled feather on his head, and a seated falcon with a guilloche between. Concave cyl. seal. Hematite, 15 ½ x 9 mm.
