On the right a god sits on a padded stool. He is clad in a long flounced robe, wears a hat with brim and is holding up a small cup in one hand. Before and facing him stands another god is [sic] horned tiara and long flounced robe, holding up one hand. Behind him and facing the same direction are two standing humans with bare heads and wearing long fringed robes, each raising one hand. A combined crescent and solar disc appear in the sky, and a kind of vessel is a filler. A terminal is composed of three standing creatures one above the other: two sheep and an animal with a long neck. This is a seal from the Assyrian merchant colonies in Anatolia, c.1800-1700 B.C.
