- CBS Register: seal cylinder, chalcedonyPBS XIV: The worshiping of the tree of life under the winged sun disk. It is a palm like tree with a halo of branches round a knotted stock. The tree is guarded on one side by a winged bird headed genius with both hands extended, a short tunic and a rich embroidered shawl opening in front to let pass his bare leg. There are two worshipers on the other side. The first - a king(?) - has both hands up. He has a cylindrical mitre bound with a diadem, heavy hair and beard, and a rich embroidered robe opening in front. The second, assistant or officer, dressed in the same manner but with a round mitre, carries a pail with one hand while adoring with the other.A line of eight dots between them is perhaps a symbol of Ishtar. Convex cyl. seal. Blue chalcedony, 24 x 13 1/2 mm.
