| Description of the seal image | The scene is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. A bearded hero reachers towards a striding human-headed winged lion (lamassu, sphinx) with one hand and grasps the foreleg of a rampant bull with the other. He wears a short, fringed tunic. In front of him are an ear of wheat ('bottle-brush' tree) below the Sibitti (Pleiades) in the sky, while behind him is the stylus of Nabu below a crescent moon. Above the human-headed winged lion's head is a wedge. |
