Description

A close photograph of a seal impression, shown in relief against a grey ground with a light border. Three ring-and-dot motifs are stacked in the centre-left, beside a tall rectangular panel with a small dot. Angular linear figures and a curved stroke fill the right side, and horizontal lines frame the top and bottom of the band.
