Iconographic description, specific 2001-09-12 mKB head and neck of three caprids facing right, the third one is the only clear one because it has horns preserved, modeled hair pattern on the neck and one raised bent leg, a fourth animal carved the same way and in the same position is not as clear but it is placed slightly higher on the seal and appears to be slightly larger, the last two figures on the rolling have the same shape and are the same size as the first four so probably are repetitions of the same figures; small trace of a second rolling.
