"Apkallu type 1, Illustration 8, Stephanie Dalley, IDD.<br /> Dalley notes that this ""Hebrew seal"" may not be genuine, as it features a winged, man-faced bull ""Aladlammu"" serving as a ""pedestal animal for a divine figure.""<br />  What intrigues me is the crown worn by the man-faced bull, which resembles the crown portrayed on previous depictions alleged to be the god Anu. I do not propose that this man-faced bull is Anu, but his dual-horned headdress is surmounted by a disc-shaped device which is more ornate than the headdress on any other figure on this seal. The crown in this context is problematic, and it raises questions. <br /> Dalley compares illustration 8 to illustration 9, below, as ""another West Semitic or (or rather South Semitic) seal with this type of apkallu standing alone."""
