Iconographic description, specific 2004-09-09 mKB standing bearded figure facing right, wearing a belted fringed skirt. He is pouring a liquid into a container in front of a lion with an open mouth; in his left hand he holds a straight, skightly curved object upright. Beyond this implement is an eight pointed star. In the iconography there are two open mouthed standing lions which are placed back to back with their long tails crossing. The lion facing left has a small human figure wearing a long garment standing on the long tail of the second lion which is positioned above his back. This figure is facing the figure pouring the liquid. The seated deity is positioned on the back of the lion facing right and directly on top of the extended tail of the lion facing left. This positioning connects the two lions physically with the two figures but not the third figure. The third figure pouring the liquid is connected with the scene through the pouring gesture and the raising of the lightening type implement. [Input: ZI930mKB.j]
Notes on typology 2004-09-09 mKB part of this composit came from q831.2 which is a group of 21 clay lumps three of which had small traces of the Ishar-kinum seal. q834.4, q834.5 and q835.5 showing straw and possibly cloth impressions may have been part of a Ishar-kinum sealing; but it is also possible that they were part of the i183 sealing which is the only other seal impression excavated in f278.
