Goddess behind worshiper pouring libation before god holding plow placing foot upon mountain

"The type of scene most frequently found on cylinders of the Third Dynasty of Ur shows a minor goddess leading a worshiper by the hand toward an enthroned deity (277-287), who is more often female than male. Usually the throne resembles a shrine. This scheme is derived from such Akkad seals as 190, with the difference that now the enthroned deities are rarely identified by the objects they hold or by other distinctive features of their appearance. A crescent is usually placed in the sky before the enthroned deity; often a bird or some other animal appears near the knees of the figure ... The three instances in which the worshipers are not bald-headed but wear caps (290, 291, 294) are exceptional. The appearance of this type of headgear which is marked by vertical ridges in 290 and 294, and which became a common feature of Isin-Larsa glyptic, may be due to peripheral influences, since similar caps are frequently depicted on seals from Susa of about the same time (Louvre S. 500-502). ... Representations of gods in ascending posture are rare in the designs of this period ... In 290 the god in ascending posture has been identified by Frankfort as Abu, or Ninurta, because he holds a plow and an object that may be a lion-headed club, both of which are emblematic of this deity."--Porada, CANES, p. 35
