content: From card: Original of mixed diorite. Fight of Gilgamesh and the Satyr Eabani (Enkidu) with the divine bull sent by Ishtar and a lion: Eabani grasps the forelegs of the lion, while Gilgamesh holds with the left hand one the fore-of the bull whose head is turned backwards, with the right he seems to weild a club. At the other end is perhaps a repetition of Gilgamesh tackling another animal. In the field, a staff or club, or the cone-headed column (ashera) of Marduk. Babylonian.
