11. *Possibly Kassite* (1500 B.C. or later): circular seal with button back; on the face, a human figure with a yoke from which hang two objects that have been regarded as skins or pots, the man being identified as a water-carrier. Above are two star-like forms. The objects hanging from the yoke may rather be fishing-nets, each net containing a fish; cf. a net-carrier on a potsherd from Harappā, again with star-like forms in the background (Vats, ii, pl. lxix, 16). From “upper rubbish, Kassite (?) level” at Ur—very doubtful stratigraphy. Gadd no. 12.
