Bucket and cone

Attributes in Mesopotamian art

Bucket and Cone refer to twin attributes that are frequently held in the hands of winged genies depicted in the art of Mesopotamia and within the context of Ancient Mesopotamian religion, particularly in art from the Neo-Assyrian Empire and especially Assyrian palace reliefs from this period - sometimes, however, only the bucket is held, and the other hand is held up in what may be a blessing gesture. To a lesser degree such images were also depicted in images from the Neo-Sumerian Empire, Old Assyrian Empire, Babylonian Empire and Middle Assyrian Empire.
