UE 3 p. 38 no. 407 'Pictographic inscription. Each sign in a case. The constructions are curiously varied. Two are gates or towers surmounted by an animal passant and a star (or eagle?). The large abode of Larsa bears the sign of the rising sun but has lost its sharp point and has a side buckle. The dentils on the lower part suggest a massive platform. The abode is no longer AB of the sign lists but a more solid construction, unu. The pole with cross-bars and the rising sun of Adab is coupled with another city sign. U. 14842. SIS 4 or perhaps 8. Pl. 53.' |
