Adoration scene: To the right, a god is standing on a pedestal (possibly the Kassite moon-god Nanna), holding a staff and facing a worshipper (possibly a woman) with both arms raised in a gesture of adoration. The inscription identifies the owner of the seal: "Ahumma, son of Muragimu, servant of Martu and Nergal."
