Cylinder seal of Zardamu king of Qarahar.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Lapis-lazuli cylinder seal and modern impression: a goddess with weapons rising from her shoulders (Annunitum?) faces a king who holds a multiple mace and rests the other hand on a long-handled axe, his right foot placed on a fallen enemy. The long insription identifies the owner of the seal as Zardamu, king of Qarahar, a kingdom in the ZAgros foothills (near modern Suleimaniah?). May be contemporary of the Third dynasty of Ur, or slightly later. British Museum, 89851.
