This cylinder seal shows a sacrifice in front of a ziggurat. A priest in a long robe faces right, standing before a censer and a sacrificial table with legs ending in animal feet. On the table lie curved offerings and four dotted elements that mark additional gifts.

🔹 Middle Assyrian period (13th-12th BCE)
🔹 Stone cylinder seal, VA 05362
🔹 Vorderasiatisches Museum, Berlin
