Adoration scene: A bearded worshipper is standing with raised hands before an altar on which the symbols of Marduk and Nabû , the marru spade and the qan tuppi stylus are located. There is a crescent above. The personal piety of the worshipper as he worships the Babylonian main deities, is stressed on this motif, which occurs frequently during the Neo-Babylonian period.
