This cylinder seal shows a suppliant goddess standing in front of a royal figure with a rounded cap and a long dress. The suppliant goddess with raised hands can be identified with Lama. The term "lama" is Sumerian (Akkadian Lamassu) and refers to a beneficent, protective female (Black and Green 1992, 115). Typically, her position is depicted in a consistent form, usually introducing worshipers to a deity. In this case, the goddess is standing in front of a figure, possibly identified as a royal, holding a mace. Tessier suggests that this type of male figure was sometimes identified as a deity. Behind the king is an inscription.
