Description

A close photograph of a rectangular seal or gem filling the frame, with a carved design in relief. A rounded shape sits at the left, a diagonal line runs toward the centre, and a row of short parallel horizontal strokes lies in the lower middle. A curved raised border follows the right edge, and the surface looks smooth and grey.
