Making a offering to a seated deity god. Tablet, British
Museum. Early Dynastic lll about 2500 BCE from UR.
The top image of a young naked male pouring out libation to a deity
god, a female figure with a rolled brimmed hat standing watching the
viewer
probably the goddess inna with a goat around her neck also in stance
like in the early Judaeo christian christ figure with a sheep depicted
around his shoulder also interpreted as the blood or death cult since
women where a sign of purity due to the releasing of blood through periods
the below older naked ( priest ) figure pours out liquid libation on
top of an alter with animal ankle straps probably to sacrifice kids
since its blood is pure and less contaminated with symbolic probably
meaning of realeased streams of pure energy and the driving force of
the animal life
which is next to what looks like an in closer building or early form
of today's temples the deity god above holds a drinking vessel.
