Kategória	Cylinder Seals
Description of the seal image	The scene is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. A horse sitting on a stool is served by another horse and a dog standing on their hind legs. The sitting animal has a double belt or girdle around its genital area and is consuming a beverage from a vessel through a drinking tube. Its tail or sword hands down behind the stool. The dog holds a stringed instrument (a lyre or harp) between its forelegs. Above the vessel are the Sibitti (Pleiades), while behind the dog and the sitting horse are a six-rayed, globe-centred star, a crescent moon, and a rhomb arranged in a column. A wedge appears between the two standing animals.
