Description

The oval stone seal is shown large in the centre of a light card, its dark surface marked by pale curved bands across the upper part and a wavy pale band below. Cracks run across the stone, and a rounded pale section stands out at the bottom edge. Handwritten labels sit beneath the card, and a cropped photograph of a round object appears at the right edge.
