FIGURED IN HISTORIC PAST
Time Of Abraham Now In
Pennsylvania Museum.

In the dim old days of the patriarch
Abraham people looked very much as
they do now. judging from the oldest
representation Of human figures I'M
earthed by the toilIng brotherhood Of
psychologists. Two striking figures,
one standing and one seated. are In
cluded In the elaborate design OF the
clay seal. or postage stamp" which
has excited the enthusiasm Of DIR. Le-l
grain, curator of the Babylonian sec
tion OF the University Of Pennsylvania
museum.
Or. Legrain has figured cut the In.
sc-iptions of the little tablet as indi-
eating that II dates from the period
when "Ur of the Chaldees." mentioned
In Genesis In connection with the his
tory of Abraham. was q fourishing
kingdom. And he finds reason TO be-
lieye that the seated figure. decorated
with founces Of beautiful accordion
plating, Is a portrait Of his majesty
Ibl-Sln. the last king Of Ur and pos.
sibly an intimate friend OF the Father
Of Israel.
To the modern eye both figures are
remarkably well drawn and lifelike
In attitude. especially considering the
fact that they were modelled In clay
on very small scale. Or. Legrain
thinks the tablet served the double
purpose Of a seal and a postage stamp
on a sack of money forwarded to a
banker named Shulpae by his rever.
ence the high priest Of the temple of
Ur at which Abraham wOrshiped
