Tan Primary, Wildclaw, Veined.
Istaran of Rhapsodus’ clan!
Akkadian Cylinder Seal with Serpent-God and Worshipper, 2300-2200 BC
The design is based on a serpent or snake-god who is perhaps a representation of Ištaran, the patron deity of the city of Der. Behind him stands an attendant and facing the snake-god is a seated human worshipper in long robe holding up a small cup. Between the snake-god and worshipper is a large fire altar with flames and a small vessel. The star of Venus and the lunar crescent fill spaces above the altar.
The subject of the Akkadian snake-god has been discussed at length in Wiggermann, F.A.M. Transtigridian Snake Gods in Finkel, I.M. & Geller, M.J. Sumerian Gods and Their Representations, Cuneiform Monographs 7, Groningen, 1997. (Read it here)
