Hittite Seals Oxford 1920 (drawing) Square seals Hittite DG. Hogarth Pl. VII 209, 210, 211 (all studs cf. op. N 211

While Square seals are found with some frequency during the second millenium, while there is even in the slightest resemblance in the style of the representation, it is true which if anything approach the Bamboula seal anentail in shape, particularly one assigned by Hogarth to Class II, the Hittite period 1500-1200 B.C. In general the shape of our seal belongs to the Stud type (Hogarth p. 21 Fig. 17), cf. op & n.14 though there are no really close parallels.]
