Morphology

Roster Date Author Record
Iconographic description, specific 2003-09-00 mKB seated figure in long garment facing left,with left arm bent close to the body. The uppermost part of the stool is preserved and is divided into five or six squares in two rows.Shamash in i82 is seated on a similar stool.Behind the seated figure the inscription is carved in what appears to be a wide column. The inscription box portion of the seal may have been rolled over part of the scene in front of the seated figure. On the other side of the inscription box is a standing figure facing right in a long garment with the left arm forward and bent and the right arm across the body and may be holding something. Another part of the rolling appears to be flames and may indicate that the seated person is Shamash. However it is perhaps a table top with long narrow loaves of bread parallel to the top above. Studying the photos of the bulla it seems more likely, from the position of these parallel lines that they are the rays coming off the shoulder of Shamash. Or none of these speculations! [Input: ZI910mKB.j]
Notes on typology 2003-09-00 mKB bulla with an unclear number of rollings, some rollings may have overlapped with others; all rollings are of the same seal. The inscription box appears to be one wide column. [Input: ZI910mKB.j]
