Cylinder Seal with Birdman Zu before the Watergod In this scene, the Watergod Ea is shown wearing a divine horned helmet with streams of water and fish flowing from his shoulders. A god's symbols were sometimes shown sprouting from their shoulders. The double-faced Usmu and another minor god bring the birdman Zu before the Watergod for judgment because Zu failed to steal the Tablet of Destiny and gain power over all the gods.
