Summary
Under a canopy, a worshiper faces a deity- possibly Ishtar, goddess of fertility- on a raised platform. Two winged genii (protective deities) holding ceremonial buckets flank the central scene, and divine astral symbols appear above. A three-line inscription gives the name and titles of the owner: "[seal] of Nabu-nurka-lamur, superintendent of Ahu-shamshi, the palace herald." The finely drilled style of this seal dates it to the 9th or 8th century BC.
