.bk J03 .fl Qx04fab.j .fd descriptions of seal impressions .ei fab .ed Qx04 .rd Qx04 .ri mkb q 328.5 ds Part of one end is complete and rounded so the object originally was approximately round in shape. The reverse has a small part of a peg impression and below it at a slight angle, is a deep clear impression but with smooth sides so can be identified as a leather impression. Above the peg impression, on top of the sealing are 2 shorter impressions, also with smooth edges, framing the top of the peg. From their relative angles with respect to each other they may have been 2 interwoven pieces of leather. is Fragment of interwoven pattern of 2 ribbons (?) that are each composed of 2 parallel lines in higher relief with a central depression. nt For possible impression of the same seal see J3.17 and J3.15.3 and J3q 328.4 and J3.15.2. A similar impression is J3.15.1 i 15.1 ds Amorphous reverse with 2 possible small leather knot impressions and one short thin leather strap impression. On the surface of the reverse may be fragmentary impressions of a fine cloth. is Exterior and 2 interior crossed "ribbons" each with outside edges raised and a narrow central depression. nt For a similar impression see J3q328.5 and J3.17 and J3.15.3 and J3q 328.4 and J3.15.2 i 17 ds Triangular in section with the central portion thicker and gradually becoming thinner toward the exterior edge that is a portion of a circle. .ri fab ds seal impression is rolled parallel to the increasing thickness of the object. The impression is rolled off the edge of the object, off the thinnest edge. No discernable peg imressions. No cloth or leather impressions. is Overlapping "ribbons" in a criss-cross pattern. Possibly a braided pattern with four "ribbons". Only the center portion is visible, with two overlapping junctures visible. nt For possible impression of same seal see J3q328.5 and J3.15.3 and J3q 328.4 and J3.15.2. A similar impression is J3.15.1 i 15.3 ds The impression has only one side which remains unbroken. This side has a very rough surface, as if there were no impression at all, or the object making the impression was very rough. on the reverse there is an impression of a cord, perhaps a leather knot, which is perpendicular to the rough side of the impression. The impression seems to have one border visible. is Fragment of overlapping "ribbon" impression. Three points of overlapping visible. "Ribbons" cross at nearly right angles. "Ribbons" are composed of two parallel raised ridges with an indentation between them. Ridges and indentation are parallel to the edge of the ribbon and with even thickness over the whole ribbon. nt For possible impression of same seal see J3q328.5 and J3.17 and J3q 328.4 and J3.15.2. A similar impression is J3.15.1 i 19 ds This object is broken on all sides, and even the reverse seems not to bear any impressions but to be broken. The material seems to have been secondarily fired, due to its weight proportional to size and the strength of the object. The upper border of the impression is visible, but the impression is broken below. is The impression consists of two elements: a human-like figure and a cross-hatch pattern in a halfcircle. The figure has an elongated head, exagerated in the horizontal. The shoulders and hips are visible, while the waist does not leave an impression. To the left of the head is a jagged line which may or may not be part of the seal. The cross-hatch impression is in an elongated half-circle with the flat side of the circle pointing up. The lines of the cross hatch are parallel and perpendicular to the border of the seal impression. The cross-hatch pattern seem to have a shaft below, as if the whole was a standard. This shaft is being held by the figure. nt For other seal impression see J3.14 i 14 ds This object has three rollings of the same seal. None of the sealings are complete. On the reverse there is a good impression of the object sealed. This object had a curled rim and a convex surface. The object may be a bottle, but the convex surface would indicate a very small vessel. is The middle impression is the most complete, with four elements of the scene visible. The top and bottom borders of the seal are not visible. First, a standard with a long shaft is present. This standard has a partial circle which is not entirely preserved because of the portion of the rolling. Inside the circle is a cross-hatch pattern with three vertical spars and an unknown number of horizontal ones. The second and third elements are two vertical pieces parallel to the shaft of the standard. These elements are between the standard and the figure, the fourth element. They are otherwise not to be identified. The fourth element is a figure, of which an arm, shoulder, waist and a leg are visible. The figure is holding the standard with one arm. The figure seems to be en face. is The top most impression has five elements, here described from right to left. These figures are only partially preserved, since the bottom border of the seal is present but only aproximately half of the vertical portion of the seal is preserved. The first element is a pair of legs, not much more than the feet of a figure facing left. The second element is a vertical piece which does not rest on the bottom border of the seal. The third element is a second pair of legs and the waist of a figure facing left. The fourth element is another vertical piece. The fifth element is just a stub which is not further defineable. is The bottom impression has only a very small portion preserved. This seems to be the arm of the figure from the middle impression, the top of the second and third elements of that rolling, and the shaft of the standard. nf It seems that this object may have the rollings of two different seals. The middle and lower seal impressions are made from the same seal, while the upper impression seems to be made from a second seal. First, the proportions of the figures seem to be different between the seals. Second, while it is difficult to discern, the seal that made the middle and lower impressions seem to portray the figures en face, while the upper impression has the figures facing left. However, the impressions are only partial, and the secondary firing or rolling may have changed the proportions. nt For other seal impression see J3.19 q 328.4 ds The object has two rollings of the same seal. The reverse seems to show a door sealing, with impressions of the door, the peg and the string. The reverse shows signs of secondary firing. is The main impression has the top border of the seal preserved, and the lower border is not preserved, but only very little is missing. This impression shows that the 'ribbons' of the pattern are four in number, in a superimposed sinusoidal pattern. At four points in the middle of the seal impression the ribbons overlap. is In the second impression only a small portion is visible along the top of the seal impression. nt For possible impression of same seal see J3q328.5 and J3.17 and J3.15.3 and J3.15.2. A similar impression is J3.15.1 i 16 ds The object has on its reverse the impression of a peg. The single impression has only the lower border present, with the rest broken off. is There are five elements visible on the impression. On the far right is a very faint impression that is not further destinguishable. Above this is an element, perhaps a bird, perhaps in flight. Below is a four-legged animal, preserved entirely apart from the neck. This animal is facing left, and is seated with both legs folded under the body. A tail is visible. Above the back is a fourth element, a diamond shape, possibly the head of the animal, element three. A fourth element is seen to the left of the animal, but not further distinguishable. nt For possible impression of the same seal see J3q328.3 q 328.3 ds The object has on its reverse an impression of the door(?), which is nearly parallel to the rolling of the sealing, which is unusual. There is also a peg impression, but no string impression. The impression seems to have both the upper and lower borders of the seal impressed in small portions. The height of the seal is 3cm. is Three elements are present: first, in the middle of the seal directly behind and slightly above the animal. This element is not further definable. The second element is above the rump of the animal, perhaps a bird? The third element is a seated quadruped, with both visible legs tucked under the animal. A tail is also visible. nt For possible impression of the same seal see J3.16 i 15.2 ds The object has a very small portion of a seal impression. On the obverse are several fingerprints. The reverse has a very nice impression of what was sealed, probably a basket. is A very small fragment of a seal impression, showing two overlapping 'ribbons'. nt For possible impression of same seal see J3q328.5 and J3.17 and J3.15.3 and J3q328.4. A similar impression is J3.15.1 i 18 ds A large object with a single impression on the obverse. No impressions were discernable on the reverse. is The scene has several vertical lines which do not appear to be a part of any element. The left most element seems to be a human figure, exagerated in the vertical dimension. The figure seems to be holding what may be a standard, a vertical shaft with a semi-circle containing possibly a cross-hatch pattern. To the right of the standard is an element which could be an animal facing right.
