Four abodes are represented by the unu sign with a spouted jar between each of them. The emblems on the top, star, eagle, &c, are two indistinct to allow a proper attribution to Ur, Uruk, or Larsa. The two posts with cross-bars between four stars are somewhat different from the usual pictograph of Adab, and may have a general meaning. Eight-pointed star on the butt-end of the cylinder. |
