Genies are often depicted beside sacred trees with the cone outstretched
but its not always the case.
I can't remember if this was a stand alone part of a frieze or if there was
anything in front of the figure in the museum.There were so many amazing
things to look at I was overwhelmed.
Remember the story of Gilgamesh? Having discovered that he was two-thirds god by birth, and therefore entitled to immortality? This is the god that Gigamesh pleaded with, in-person, to stand with him while he stated his case to the other Annunaki gods, as only they would know if his claim was true, and if so, only they could grant him immortality.
He is wearing the horned helmet that indicates he is divine or semi divine
but the symbols he carries are a cone and a bucket which are bog standard
genie accessories...never be seen out without them.
Wouldn't Utu be wielding his sacred weapon?
Yes ..there are several pieces like this there including a huge scene of a lion hunt which is superb and a pair of gate sentinels in the form of incredible winged bulls with human heads.
