Description

A grey-toned photograph of an oval seal, about the size of a thumbnail, is pasted on a cream card mount. The seal's surface has an engraved design of several incised lines and a raised shape at the left, though much of the detail is hard to read. Handwritten numbers are written on the card beside and below the print.

Description, scan 2
An oval seal or gem of dark stone, photographed close up so its engraved surface fills most of the frame. The design shows a curved central groove, horizontal bands and angular shapes on the left and right, with a lighter rim around the edge. The soft focus makes fine detail hard to read, and the print sits on a pale card mount.
