Description

An oval stone seal or gem with an engraved design, photographed close-up on a grey card. Incised lines form a branching motif on the left and a curved figure or shape on the right, with a fine rim around the edge. The surface is worn and the light shows the cut lines unevenly, and the mount around the object has chipped, bluish edges.
