hematite
25 mm
Morgan Seal 429
Provenance: 
Acquired by Pierpont Morgan sometime between 1885 and 1908.
Notes: 

Cylinder fragmentary.
"In 429, however, the figure is shown with a horned miter, indicating that this personage might also be regarded as divine. This does not necessarily conflict with the assumption that the figure stands for a king, since in Old Babylonian texts, terms indicating divinity are sometimes used in reference to a king. However, the general uniformity in the rendering of the figure with a mace from the beginning to the end of the First Dynasty of Babylon may imply that it represents a king as such rather than any specific ruler." Porada, CANES, p. 52
