Description

A dark oval seal-gem fills most of the frame, photographed close-up on a pale grey card mount. Its surface carries incised lines: a rectangular panel with vertical strokes, a rounded form and rows of short marks, with some wear and uneven lighting. A handwritten number is partly visible along the bottom edge of the card.
