Description:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

The sealing shows probably an Assyrian queen with the Assyrian king approaching a deity standing on a lion (?).\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

On the basis of some textual evidence from the Neo-Assyrian period which describes a gesture implying the raising of the hand(s), the Akkadian expressions used to describe such a gesture are conventionally \u0161u\u2019illakku<\/em> and n\u012b\u0161 q\u0101t\u012b<\/em>, which can be interpreted as an idiom for \u201cprayer\u201d and commonly include a physical movement. The king, namely the figure between the hypothetical queen and the deity, perhaps performs a gesture of humility, identified in Akkadian with the the appa lab\u0101nu gesture <\/em>(“to stroke the nose”). The standing deity was perhaps supposed to perform a greeting gesture addressed to the couple. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
