A cylinder next to a sketch of the impression on a cylinder seal showing supplicants approaching a shrine seeking health, c.2800 B.C. The cylinder was purchased at auction in 1930 by the Wellcome Historical Medical Musuem and accessioned in 1938 (accession number R2373/1938). This sketch accompanied the cylinder as part of a display of Assyrian and Babylonian cylinders in the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum. It is not held by Wellcome Collection.
