'U18413. Di. 2.8, circ. 8.8. Eight-pointed rosette'
UE 3 p. 37 no. 393
'The human Swastika. Two men back to back, one right way up, one head downwards, crossed by a second group of men in the same position, all nude and shaven. They are apparently running, each man catching one foot of his neighbour. The clever, well-balanced design forms a graphic wind-rose, which has a close duplicate in the four crossed lions on the seal of a-gig-?u-ddim, or in the chain of four runners armed with daggers on the seal of Mes-anni-padda, No. 5I8. The pictographic inscription is an exact parallel of the historical inscription: king of the four corners of the world, lugal an-ub-da tab-tab-ba. More pictographs surround the rose, lion, ass, and goat's heads, bull's legs, oval and triangular objects. An eight-petalled rosette on the butt-end of the cylinder, d. 25 mm.
U. 18413. SIS 4-5. Two fragments. Pl. 52.'
