Pot-stand between king and his attendant

Kategória	Cylinder Seals
Description of the seal image	The scene is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. A beardless attendant faces a bearded king or dignitary. The attendant wears a long fringed robe, has a towel thrown over his shoulder, and holds a flag-shaped fan and a cloth. The king wears similar clothing, has a sword at his waist and a tassel hanging from his hair, and holds a cup and a bow. Between the two figures is a vessel on a stand (pot-stand), while behind them is a stylised tree below an eight-rayed, globe-centred star.
