CBS Register: Tello (?) Seal cylinder, 2 vultures enclosed in a rope-pattern or snake (?)

The second-a vulture or falcon- is entirely in profile, with two wings displayed over his back after the early Elamite style. The Sun god, rising over mountains, with rays on his shoulders, has been early associated with the eagle. In Assyrian and Persian times the emblem of the supreme god Ashur and Ahura-Mazda, is a flying disk, with wings and tail of an eagle, curved streamers instead of legs and talons, and frequently a figure of the god within the circle. Flying eagle and flaming sun were closely connected in the imagination and worship of the Sumero-Elamites. A cross in the field may be the very symbol of the sun. The birds are opposed tail to tail according to a primitive convention of perspective. Worked with the point within a rope like pattern. Cylinder Seal. Serpentine, 23 x 12 mm.

The Martu dress has much in common with the old Akkadian dress. Only the turban seems to belong to a more recent period. The god holds his club near the round stone head. In the same manner does the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal, on the famous statue of Nimrud, hold his scepter club, while wielding a curved scimitar in his hanging right. The end of the scepter has a tassel ornament. Martu's right hangs bare and idle with no weapon. A divine attendant adores with both hands up. She has the usual horned mitre, hair tied in a loop and flounced robe. An interesting inscription characterizes Martu as the god of stormy dust clouds, who, club in hand, rules the tornadoes of the desert, a new god of storm like Ramman.

Ishtar has the horned mitre, hair tied in a loop, cross straps over the shoulders, plaited shawl girded about, and opening in front to let pass her bare leg resting on a small lion.
