Glyptic

Seal impression with a continuous row of upright figures carved in shallow relief — Photograph: Swedish Cyprus Expedition, 1927–31. Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm, C06022. Public domain (CC0).

Description

A horizontal band of repeated upright figures with long, narrow bodies runs across the width of the picture, set side by side between raised borders at top and bottom. The surface is grey with small specks and a crack near the lower edge. The object appears to be a rolled impression or cast rather than the stone itself, shown on a grey card.
