A22 deity with leg raised
K13 This composite is based on six seal impressions. Its iconography focuses on a horned deity facing right with rays coming from both shoulders and upper arms. This figure appears to be holding downward a weapon in his right hand. His left leg is raised perhaps on a hillock. His head and upper body are shown in front view while the lower body and legs are turned to the right.
Behind him is a small goat with body facing right but head facing left. In front of him are two humans one is touching his left raised arm and the other human figure has one arm raised.
The seal is rolled near a peg impression both in A1.246 and A1.262. In A1.262 (G this drawing can be seen in A1 Field number list) there is one flat surface showing impressions of wood with peg impressions on this wood.
There are other Urkesh seal impressions with an animal with one raised leg on a hill with plants growing on this hill but these impressions are iconographically different than this composit. A variation of this iconography we can see in A5.121 with a human who has a leg on the head of a reversed horned animal and A5.135 where a human has a leg on the mane of a reversed lion.

K13 Two men each holding up a conical cup toward each other. One is standing facing left with his right arm holding up the cup and his left arm held low stretched toward the bird table that is between them. His garment is a calf-length skirt and decorated with a deep fringe The seated figure has a long beard and is sitting on a stool decorated with two rectangles. His deep fringe garment covers his right shoulder only. The deep fringe can be seen going under his body as he sits on the stool. Both men wear a floppy hat extended beyond the head in front and back.
Nothing is on top of the bird table but under it stands a tall necked jar which might have contained the liquid they are drinking in the conical cups.

K13 Seal with two registers not separated by a frame. Lower register has figures positioned horizontally. All the human figures have an oval head and large eye but without a dot. The human figures in the upper register are depicted above the pattern of the human headed bull in the lower register.
Upper register: seated figure facing right wearing a plain garment and seated on a plain stool. This figure is holding up a conical cup together with a small standing figure with the upper body frontal but the head facing left. This small figure is wearing a short skirt and has stick-like legs. The figure has the right arm raised to hold the conical cup but the left arm touches the head of the standing human headed bull placed behind him. This bull figure is depicted standing on an unclear pattern of straight parallel lines placed vertically. The animal above the bull figure appears to be a lion but this is not certain. Behind these two figures is a birdman facing right holding upright a long thin shaped object. Next to him is a nude female facing forward.
Lower register: has few figures including a human headed bull 's head facing front with a long beard depicted with straight parallel lines. The two humans in the upper register are depicted above this figure. After this in the composition is an unclear geometric pattern. The last figure in this register is a nude human facing right with an oval head and eye in the same style as the two humans in the upper register.
