Description

Three ink drawings of seals are mounted on separate pieces of white card on a pale grey backing. At upper right, a scarab is drawn in side view with a domed back and flat base, and at left another is drawn from above, showing the head and wing cases divided by a central line. At lower right, an oval seal with a double outline has carved signs, including a curled form, a tall curved stroke and three upright strokes ending in knobs.
