Description

A long, horizontal band with raised carving, probably a cylinder seal or its impression, photographed straight on against a grey backdrop. It has several registers of standing figures, animals with curled tails in the lower row and small looped motifs between them. The surface is grey and slightly worn, and the relief stands out clearly in the photograph.
