Quoted text:

The Ischali seal (Amiet 1951: ___) depicts the goddess of writing, Nisaba, holding a barag sign over a ziggurat. An elaboration of this sign appears on Kish 2038.

Can you help us figure out what this symbol was supposed to look like (ideally specifically to each iteration, Ischali [number unknown; presumably 34/36 based on this query?] and Kish 2038), and help us find an illustration of each to insert or link to/cite?

Also, there were underscores that we removed, in the following places in the original text (see below); let us know if text/context/links should be added to correspond to the omitted text:

“The Ischali seal (Amiet 1951: [page number(s) unknown]) depicts the goddess of writing, Nisaba, holding a _ barag sign over a ziggurat. An elaboration of this sign appears on Kish 2038 as ___”
