Worship of Shamash: The Sun-God Tablet
Three approaching figures face a large solar disc set upon an altar before a seated deity beneath an arched shrine. The source caption names Worship of the Sun-God and associates the tablet with the restoration of the temple at Sippar by Nabu-pal-iddina. The scene is reproduced in God, the Bible, Truth and Christian Theology. Its small procession and monumental disc organise the encounter around an object of worship.
