Description

A close view of a single oval seal or gem of dark stone, shown filling the frame on a pale card. Its upper edge is rough and grainy, possibly worn or chipped. The engraved design is partly legible: a wedge-shaped stroke on the left, a curved element on the right, and a row of short parallel lines along the lower edge.
