Description

An oval stone seal or gem with a carved design of curved and angular grooves and raised bands fills most of the frame. The dark incisions contrast with the paler surface, and the edges look worn and rounded. The photograph is mounted on a card with a cracked, pale bluish border, and no scale is shown.
