    Cylinder seal. Steatite. Black. Slightly concave. Poor engraving. Broken and mended. Presentation scene before seated goddess, two figures approaching and an attendant behind the throne. Seated goddess wears horned and (feathered?) headdress and flounced kaukanes skirt. Before and behind her shoulders undulating lines represent lightening? Minor deity approaches salaams the seated god with right hand upraised: this deity wears a plain skirt and horned headdress. The votary introduced by the minor god wears a feathered headdress: apparently the feathers are arranged in two tiers. Behind throne an attendant deity also horned. Along lower portion of seal a band of reticulated decoration.
