This sherd comes from a Wet Smooth ware jar. Design: Human figure facing a scorpion which he seems to be holding by the tail. Behind him is a long necked animal with elaborately patterned horns, perhaps a deer. The carving is very angular; this can especially be seen in the body of the human and the scorpion. The legs of the animal and its horns have a more linear quality. Based on the carving technique this seal should be dated to ED II. .rd ZJ227 .ri rL i 8 A40 M1 168 df si Zsi2ob Tag ma cl F2 f13 F2 k6 c# 10Y 5/6 co red L of tag 4 W of tag 4.3 th 0.6 L of impression 4 ht of impression 3.2 Q3 Mozan 1, pp. 79-80, fig. 33, illustration 29. .rd 1988 .ri mKB i 8 ds This clay tag is tempered with some chaff and sand; it was burnt red-brown in the secondary fire and in places is almost blue. It is fairly flat on the back with traces of finger impressions. Design: Early Dynastic motif of antithetical animals with their legs crossed in the middle and heads probably turned back (heads missing in this rolling); a smaller duck(?) stands to the right. At the bottom is a horizontally placed figure. In typical Mesopotamian motifs of this type the crossing of the animal's legs is much more gracefully patterned; however in this seal an overall patterned effect was achieved, if somewhat in a disorganized manner. Part of this effect comes from the horizontal placement of the human figure(?) at the bouom of the seal which is not found in southern models. The emphasis on the linear aspect of the modelling probably indicates an ED I1 date. .rd ZJ227 .ri rL i 9 df si Zsi2ob Door ma cl F2 f16 L 3.8 W 3.5 th 3.3 c# 7.5R 5/6 co strong brown Q3 Mozan 1, p. 69. .rd 1988 .ri mKB i 9 ds Fragments of clay with finger impressions and traces of wood impressions and a peg impression; part of a door sealing.

Design: Nude hero with straight hair in upstanding tufts holding two homed(?) animals by their beards. This type of nude hero can appear in two different positions: either as a master of animals between two animals he is dominating, as in our impression and Amiet, 1961 P1. 70926 (ED 11), or in an animal combat scene where he appears (e.g. ibid. P1. 76:1003, ED 111). Both these aspects continue into early Akkadian art.

Design: Entwined snake with head at the bottom of the coil. A long homed animal is reversed on the seal with its head next to that of the snake. The height of the cylinder seal was more than 2.3 cm. This door sealing has the best preserved design of the three door sealings which were rolled with this seal (K1.18 and K1.81). Boehmer (1965), has an entwined pattern (Pl. XXVII:321), but somewhat larger than this M o m example with no other animal present; see also P1. LIII:639 and PI. VIII:85 (poorly preserved), the snake coil is extended in P1. LV:664 (Akk 111). In P1. XLIX:573 (Akk I) [same as Frankfort (1939) No. 5931 the coil‘is shown without the head. See also Buchanan (1966) P1. 246 (ED 111) and Frankfort (1955) P1. 56590,593. The M o m door sealing showing a snake coil has published parallels from Early Dynastic 111 and Akkadian I (Nos. 85, 573, 639, 664 in Boehmer 1965). The combination with a horizontally placed homed animal is not paralleled in the southern rendering of this theme. However, a seal which Boehmer classifies in the “Tigris” Group (No. 664) and dates to AkkIA shows a snake coil with a scorpion on either side of it, The scorpion toward the tail end of the snake coil is shown upright while the one on the end of the snake’s head is facing the snake; this is parallel in feeling at least to our homed animal being placed in what otherwise is an awkward reversed position with its head next to the snake’s. In both these cases (snakehomed animal and snake/scorpion) the animals appear to be in an antagonistic relationship to the snake. .rd ZJ227 .ri rL i 46 df si Zsi2ob Door F2 f16 ma cl L 4.6 W 2.4 th 1.4 D of peg 2 Q3 Mozan 1, p. 72, illustration 24 .rd 1988 .ri mKB i 46 ds Flat portion against door, two strands of the rope, and peg impression preserved.

A seal with a double register but with a variety of animals walking in a file also comes from Chuera (ibid., abb.12a- b). Seals with a double register appear both in ED I1 and ED 111 seals but usually have human figures included. (See, for example, Porada 1948 PI.

Design: A rearing lion is being attacked by a human with skirt tucked up in front holding a dagger with large pummel. Behind this figure is a standing bull(?) with a screw type tail. The complete seal was at least 1.8cm high. In the Mozan door sealings we have represented combat between nude heroes and rampant animals as well as a figure with a skirt which is turned up in the front. These figures are well known on Early Dynastic glyptic at least from ED I1 on. They can interchange roles to the extent that either the nude or the skirted figures can wield the large dagger that appears also in these scenes. See for example Amiet 1961, 891, a Fara style seal, showing a man with an open skirt in the same position as our seal; in addition he is also associated with an animal behind him (in this case rearing, not standing). Other examples of these figures occur with minor variations, e.g. Buchanan 1981, 247 (on this ED I1 seal the nude belted hero with upstanding hair, straight but not tufted, holds the dagger, not the skirted figure as in the M o m seal). In Porada 1948, P1. XIV:85, there is a man in a short kilt with a dagger threatening a rearing lion; see also No. 86 on the same plate. These figures are also associated with the nude hero with hair in upstanding tufts in K1.29. The skirt of the Mozan figure is found on ED I1 style cylinder seals, Frankfort 1955, P1. 46:489, and Amiet 1961, PI. 672391; the servant behind the main male figure is wearing one of these skirts as seen also on the ED I Kudurru of Ushumgal in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Amiet 1980, Nos. 301, 303). The screw type tail on the bull is paralleled by an ED I1 seal in which a bull man has a similar tail (see Strommenger 1964, P1. 42:bottom). The same figure with an upturned skirt can be seen in another Moan door sealing (K1.52), holding a plant motif in one outstretched hand, and what appears to be.a pole with a bag hanging from it over a standing homed animal; this theme appears to be unique. The style of the carving on the M o m impression can be dated to ED 111. While the theme started earlier and continues into the beginning of the Akkadian period it does not appear to be popular in the Akkadian period and in any case is not exactly the same as ours. .rd ZJ228 .ri rL qi 193.1 df si nt NEEDS THE FULL DATA AND DESCRIPTION TO BE ADDED
