Figure with upraised arms beside bird on pole(?)

between 2900 B.C. and 2400 B.C.
black serpentine
18 x 8.5 mm
Morgan Seal 1089
Provenance: 
Acquired by Pierpont Morgan sometime between 1885 and 1908.
Notes: 

"If the inference that the bird is on a pole is correct,the motif suggests a relation with Isin-Larsa designs (303). On the other hand, the posture of the figure shown in frontal view with both hands raised is non-Mesopotamian. The same motif occurs in 1093, a seal assigned to the Syrian orbit (p. 155). This may suggest that 1089 is of similar origin."--Porada, CANES, p. 154
