Missing Illustrations
Quoted text:
Enlil’s forbear Enmesharra endowed the gods Anu and Enlil with rod and ring, that is, the ruling stick and coiled measuring rope (Van Buren 1949: p. 434 and Illustrations 3.1 and 3.2).
Can you help us find these two illustrations, or similar ones if those are copyrighted and not able to be reproduced? According to the author’s Illustrations list, they are supposed to be in, respectively:
3.1: A.E. Berriman, Historical Metrology (New York: 1953).
3.2: E. Douglas van Buren, “The Rod and the Ring,” Archiv Orientalni, Vol. 17 (1949), pp. 434–450, from Sumerian cylinder seals.
