Description

An oval impression of a seal or engraved stone, shown in dark grey on a small pale card with a torn edge. Inside a raised border, dark marks suggest an upright element, a curved shape at the lower right and a horizontal bar near the base. The card lies on a yellowish backing, and a partly visible handwritten mark sits at the right edge.

Description, scan 2: An oval stone seal photographed from above against a grey background, with a dark outline and a raised inner rim. The engraved design includes vertical strokes, a curved hooked mark at the lower right and a horizontal bar near the bottom. The high-contrast print makes the surface grainy and it is hard to tell whether the lines are cut or raised.
