10. *Probably Larsa period* (about 1800 B.C.): stone cylinder seal; palm-tree confronted by humped bull with fodder (?) below its head; behind, a scorpion and two snakes, with a horizontal human figure above. The last has a rayed head. The general style is that of the Indus, though the very large circular eye of the bull is perhaps a Kulli element. Found at Ur in a vaulted tomb which is apparently that described by the excavator as “a Larsa tomb which had been hacked down into” a wall dividing two apartments in the north-west annexe added by Bur-Sin, king of Ur, to the funerary building of his father. Gadd no. 6.
