On reply #16 fig. 12
We searched different sources in hope to find the original seal of figure 12, without success. But we found some interesting informations about the drawing (fig. 12) and Ur-DUN.
1. The fig. 12 drawing was actually made from different broken tablets, so nobody does actually know how correct the final drawing is.
This information was found here : The seal cylinders of western Asia (1910) by William Hayes Ward, page 160
The book is a bit outdated, but the fact that it says the drawing is a reconstruction from different soures is interesting no less.
Here is the text:
On cdli was another seal by the same person Ur-DUN, as shown below. Here the seal shows crossed lions instead of the double headed eagle and the seal text is shorter then in fig. 12.
