| Description of the seal image | The cylinder seal image is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. Two reclining lion-griffins face the spade of Marduk (marru) on the left. Above them are two hatched crescent moons. In front of the one directly facing the spade, there seems to be a small fish. The stamp image depicts another similar creature with a crescent moon above and an omega-shaped symbol below. |
