Description

A round, pale grey object with a worked surface, probably a seal or gem, shown full face on a small grey card. Dark, curving grooves and recesses form an engraved design across the middle, with lighter raised areas between them. A white vertical streak runs down from the top edge, and a black strip lies along the bottom, all within a cream mount border.

Description, scan 2: A round, disc-shaped object shown face-on, with a slightly uneven outline. Its surface carries a pattern of raised and incised curved and angular lines, with dark shadows filling the grooves. It rests on a dark stand with a small hole, and the design is hard to make out in fine detail.
