This study supplements a previous paper that we published in this periodical: The Tyszkiewicz Amulet, a Chalcedony Pendant Inscribed with an Incantation on Thorn Bush: Notes on an Early Sumerian Kultmittelbeschwörung , AoF 46, 174–185. It compares the Tyszkiewicz amulet to another similar amulet formerly kept in the de Serres Collection and proposes that the two objects originate from the same workshop. Although the de Serres amulet bears a different incantation from the Udug-ḫul series, the two amulets are strikingly similar with regard to physical as well as textual aspects, the latter including the incorporation of certain ‘zi-litany’ sections
