Two facing seated figures drinking through tubes and attendant

"Appearing at the right of the scene in 1036, and as the main theme of 1037 and 1038, are figures drinking through tubes from vessels. This ancient motif is also found in Nuzi impressions (Nuzi 8, 19, 560-563) and in the Cappadocian seal 894, indicating that the theme continued to be used in the north, though it fell into disuse in the south after the Akkad period... Seal 1039 has been included in this group because its figures, like those in 1038, are rendered more or less as rectangular forms topped by globes. A contest with animals may be depicted here, even though the figures seem completely static."--Porada, CANES, p. 144
