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 approximately 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 definable.

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. [Input: QX04FAB.j] |

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. [Input: QX04FAB.j] |

It seems that this object may have the rollings of two different seals. The mid-dle 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 dif-ferent 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 im-pression has the figures facing left. However, the impressions are only partial, and the secondary firing or rolling may have changed the proportions. [Input: QZ23GB.j] |
