Description

An oval, dark brown stone seal or gem with a smooth rounded back and a worn, slightly chipped edge. Its engraved design shows as pale incised lines across a central band, with a few small raised bumps at the sides, but the motif is hard to read. The object is shown on a grey mount with a handwritten number label beneath it.
