VR. 61, col. iv. ll. 33, 34. IR. 7, no. ix. Heuzey in De Sarzec's Découvertes en Chaldée, p. 209. Several examples occur in De Sarzec's Découvertes en Chaldée. See also Ward, Proc. Amer.

Heuzey is of the opinion that these statuettes thus arranged were to serve as a warning for the demons, but it is more in keeping with the general character of the Babylonian religion to look upon these objects simply as votive offerings placed at various parts of a building as a means of securing the favor of the gods.
Rassam Cylinder, col. vii. ll. 46-48. ekimmu. See p. 580. See p. 578. Heuzey offers another explanation of the scene which is less plausible. Hebrew word Sak. Inscription B, col. v. ll. 3-5. Lane, Modern Egyptians, ll. 286. See p. 575. Ib. See p. 487. Hagen, Cyrus-Texte, ib. and p. 248.
Heuzey, in a valuable note, already suggests the comparison with the two columns of Solomon's which is here maintained on the basis of the excavations at Nippur. Ib. p. 64. The best example for Assyria is furnished by the magnificent bronze gates of Balawat, now in The British Museum. See the illustrations in Perrot and Chiplez, History of Art in Chaldea and Assyria, i. 142, 143.
On its arrival at the Louvre, M. Léon Heuzey was struck by its general resemblance to a Sumerian head of diorite formerly discovered by M. de Sarzec at Telloh, which has been preserved in the Louvre for many years. On applying the head to the newly found statue, it was found to fit it exactly, and to complete the monument, and we are thus enabled to identify the features of Gudea.
