Figure grasping tree, kneeling horned animal on platform, and kneeling winged bull

"In 1006 a tree is held aloft by dancers rendered like gods in ascending posture. A suppliant female figure, probably a derivation from the Old Babylonian suppliant goddess, stands beside them; this would indicate that the figures holding the tree, if not superhuman, are at least engaged in a sacred ritual centering about the tree. This is probably also true of the figure with loincloth in 1007, shown in the act of grasping the tree... It is difficult to decode whether the animals and monsters depicted in these seals are in any instance part of the principal scene, or merely subsidiary figures, as in contemporary Syrian seals. The panels framing the scenes of 1007 and 1008 may be typically north-Mesopotamian features, since the murals found in houses at Nuzi show a similarly clear-cut composition."--Porada, CANES, p. 139
