TESHUB. 291 
We may fairly presume that it is the same god Adad whom we see in fig. 890, 
although the hats of the two figures are different and seem to follow a more Egyptian 
pattern. Allowing for possible error in Lajard’s drawing, the god carries two rods in 
his right hand and over his left shoulder is an ax. There is a crux ansata, and a 
sphinx over two figures constituting the procession. 
With the god there may appear a winged figure, which we may call a subordi- 
nate genius. Such we see in fig. 891. The genius holds a spear, and the god a bow 
and an ax. There is a goddess holding perhaps a lotus, and also two scorpions 
and a guilloche. Equally in fig. 892 the winged genius holds a spear in one hand 
and in the other an uncertain weapon. His helmet is the same as that of Adad- 
Teshub, and we observe the additional longer garment worn under the short trans-

verse one. Teshub carries a club in his left hand, but the weapon in his right hand 
is lost in the rubbing of the seal. Before him kneels a conquered enemy, and a 
worshiper stands with raised hands. Two small branches complete the scene. 
Yet another such combination we have in fig. 893. The winged genius, who looks 
much like a goddess without the longer garment, carries a javelin in one hand and 
a spear in the other. Teshub faces her with a club, or ax, in one hand and a curved 
weapon in the other. A small naked figure in the attitude of worship stands before 
a figure of the flounced Aa. There are two birds, which might be doves or ravens, and 
a crux ansata. Another good example we have in fig. 894, the winged gentus, in the 
longer skirt, wearing the feminine, square hat, so that we may take it to be a goddess, 
divine or semi-divine. She carries the longer spear and the shorter javelin. The 

god Teshub, with his club and his curved weapon, is more generously clad than 
usual and his helmet is adorned apparently with a crescent. The god facing him 
also carries a similar curved weapon, perhaps a bow, and also an ax. There is a 
smaller worshiper, who may be feminine. There is also a crux ansata. 
In this connection it is well to call attention to the cylinder shown in fig. 895, 
the genuineness of which may be in doubt, but which is so elaborate and peculiar 
that it is sure to attract attention. There are certain questionable peculiarities 
about it. It is in the best of condition, so far as the design is concerned, although 
the ends are so worn that the border lines are gone. The main god Teshub, standing 
on two mountains, is clad in evident armor. While the attitude of the god, swinging 
an enemy by the hair, is absolutely unique, that fact is not conclusive against its 
genuineness. The hat of the worshiping figure before the god, carrying a hare,
