Worshiper facing tree and stag

"In 1008 and 1009... the figure wearing a long robe and merely standing before the tree could be an ordinary human worshper, even though in 1009 he seems to be touching one of the branches.... 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
