		During the period of Akkadian control of Mesopotamia (c.2334-2154 B.C.), the early Sumerian "Lady of Heaven" and fertility goddess Inanna merged with the Semitic Ishtar, a warrior goddess.
		On this seal, a goddess stands with an uplifted hand, perhaps performing a similar prayer-like ritual.
		Uplifted hands are characteristic of goddesses in Mesopotamian art, especially during the Neo-Sumerian and Old Babylonian period, c.2100-1600, B.C. Such goddesses have been identified as lama, female protective beings that Oppenheim calls "angels." These goddesses served as supplicants on behalf of human worshippers, offering prayers for their well-being.
