"Two pairs of fighting figures flanking either a central design or the panel of an inscription constitute a motif derived from the Akkad period. This motif continued in use through the period of the Third Dynasty of Ur into the time of the First Dynasty of Babylon. However, in contrast to the Akkad renderings, which generally vary the figures, Old Babylonian cylinders show identical pairs, each pair consisting of a bull-man and a human-headed bull. Frequently a lion club stands between the pairs (347-349, 353)." Porada, CANES, p. 43
"Two contending pairs, each composed of bull-man fighting human-headed bull, with lion club between pairs -- At right, nude bearded hero bearing flowing vase -- In field: mongoose; vessel -- Terminal: bowlegged dwarf above ball staff." Porada, CANES, p.44
