Description

A single oval, beetle-shaped seal in dark stone fills most of the frame. A curved line marks the head section at the top, and a vertical groove runs down the centre of the back, with a short horizontal line dividing the upper and lower parts. The surface shows small pale flecks and a tiny chip near the middle, and the object is pictured on a pale card mount.
