| Description | UE III: the victorious hero triumphing over his enemy. He catches him by the hair, and holds down his hand armed with a dagger. Both wear a short fringed loin-cloth, over which the hero has a shawl open in front and falling to his ankles. The long locks of hair are remarkable. Animals form the counterpart of the human scene: spread eagle, lion and wild goat. Also net, jar, fishes (?), star flowers. A wild boar on the butt-end of the cylinder, d. 25 mm. Clay sealing. Baked and shellacked post-excavation. Fragment with scene of two men fighting, pots, and a gazelle. |
