26 SEAL CYLINDERS OF WESTERN ASIA. 
2. An impression of a second cylinder (fig. 45) bearing the name of Sargon I. 
also published by M. Heuzey (“Découvertes en Chaldée,” p. 282). The cylinder 
is of extraordinary size and of an entirely different design, showing a seated god- 
dess, with a worshiper before her and an 
attendant behind her carrying a weapon or 
rod on her shoulder. The arrangement of 
the inscription is unique; and the tree is to 
be observed. 
3. A third cylinder carrying the name of 
Sargon I. (fig. 46) is figured by M. Heuzey 
(Découvertes en Chaldée,” p. 283); but of 
this there remain only the inscription and the 
tree, a tree of the mountains, like a cypress. 
4. [The impression of a cylinder found at 
Bismya (fig. 47) gives a lion attacked, probably by Gilgamesh, and has Sargon’s name. 
5. Yet another, also from Bismya, shows us Gilgamesh attacking a buffalo 
or bull (fig. 48), and has Sargon’s name. 
6. The impression of a cylinder bearing the name of Naram-Sin (fig. 49), 
son and successor of Sargon I., 3750 B.C. (or later), also published by M. Heuzey 
(“Découvertes en Chaldée,” p. 284). Here we have another representation of 
Gilgamesh fighting a lion, and another deity with rays from his shoulders. 


7. A second cylinder of Naram-Sin (fig. 50) is also given by M. Heuzey (“ Dé- 
couvertes en Chaldée,”’ p. 285). Different portions are fortunately impressed on 
the two sides of a fragment of a tablet, so that the main part of the design and 
inscription can be restored. A deity, probably seated, with rays from his shoulders 
receives a worshiper, and the cypress tree is behind him. This is an extraordinarily
