Her bare leg is lifted on the back of the same animal. She has a horned mitre, her hair tied in a loop, a plaited shawl girded about and opening in font, and cross straps over her shoulders. The usual divine attendant adores with both hands up, and a human worshiper in turban and fringed shawl does the same with one hand up. Concave cyl. seal. Hematite, 21 x 10 ½ mm. MS Coll.
