The concept

I use the term “theme” to refer to the core topic or message that the seal aims to convey through all the various elements that it comprises.

Thus, a “king’s seal” is so identified because of the legend and.or because of various distinctive iconographic elements.

A “Kumarbi seal” is so identified because of the representation of a god walking in the mountains. And so on.
