Limestone statue of attendant god dedicated to Nabu by Adad-Nirari III and Sammuramat; carved from inferior limestone, standing in the attitude of submission, wearing the single-horned crown proper to minor deities. There is an inscription round the skirt which reads:

O man coming hereafter, wait on Nabu. Trust no other god.
