Contest frieze with crossed lions attacking ibexes

"The seals reflecting the transition from Early Dynastic to Akkad style still utilize the Early Dynastic group showing a hero in the center protecting ruminants against attacking lions. The characterizing feature of these cylinders appears in the postures of the animals, which have been aptly described by Moortgat as producing violent zigzag lines... Another Early Dynastic contest group--two crossed lions with their victims--rendered with the modeling characteristic of the Akkad period, is found in 139." Porada, CANES, p. 20=520 \\ Centered scene: Crossed lions, with crescent above and lizard below, attacking ibexes -- Terminal: Star in crescent over star spade.
