Seven engraved seals or gems are arranged in three rows on a grey background. The middle-left one shows a driver in a chariot with a spoked wheel, pulled by a galloping horse, and another shows a horse with a rider. The others show bird-like, linear and dotted motifs, and the print sits on a cream card mount.
