Hero (archer) hunting winged horse

Kategória	Cylinder Seals
Description of the seal image	The scene is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. A bearded hunter (archer) wearing a horned headdress decorated with globes on the top and a long, broad-belted robe with a fringed lower edge aims his bow at a jumping winged horse. Between them is a small palmette-like stylised plant with globe-tipped leaves. Above the hybrid creature is a crescent moon next to the winged sun-disc, while below it is a fish. Behind the two figures is an eight-rayed, globe-centred star above another palmette-like stylised plant with globe-tipped leaves and a long stem.
