A game of goddesses (and thrones?). Some reflection about a cylinder seal Impression from the Royal Palace G of Ebla (ca. 2300 BC)
02 Pubblicazione su volume
In this contribution I present one of the seals in the “palace style” from Palace G of Ebla of 2300 BC. The seal is characterized by the presence of two divine female figures, Ishkhara and Aštar/Ištar who were important in the Eblaic pantheon and were closely related with kingship. For this reason, and for the location of the sealings, I propose that the seal belonged to a very important official, personally related with the king.
