Two round seal faces sit side by side against a grey ground, each with a raised carved design in relief. The left seal shows a figure with a rounded head and curved, spreading strokes, and the right shows a frontal face-like motif flanked by curving forms. The print's edges are flaking and discoloured blue, and handwritten numbers appear on the card below.
