Description

Close view of an oval seal face filling most of the frame, with a raised rim and a deeply cut design of short strokes, curved shapes and a row of notches along the upper edge. The surface is pitted and speckled, with worn edges, and the print sits on a pale card with a border and a small printed label in the lower corner.
