Description

A small oval object, possibly a seal or engraved gem, is shown close up on a grey backdrop. Its surface is pitted and encrusted with lighter worn areas, and faint raised shapes and a vertical line cross the face, though the engraving is hard to make out. Handwritten number labels are written on the card mount below the photograph.
