Cylinder seal depicting a worshiper with raised hands and wearing a long dress. The worshiper is standing in front of a flaming altar, above which is a crescent moon. In front of the altar also stands a bearded warrior god, probably Ninurta, wearing a squared, star-topped, horned headdress and a vertically-striated, tiered, fringed, open robe over a fringed kilt. Behind Ninurta is a sacred tree, above which is a winged sun disc.
