| Notes on time sequencing | 2008-09-14 | mKB | iconography and style are ED, probably late ED II or early ED III this uncertainty is due to the fact that the animal lower bodies, legs and hoofs are more modeled than any of the ED II seals and yet the details of the carving of the animal hair patterns, the hand of the seated figure, the heads are all quite linearwhich is characteristic of ED II.

| Iconographic description, specific | 2008-09-14 | mKB | figure seated in a boat, crossed lion and caprid. The boat has a bow sprit, a high prow that is thicker than the vertical extension of the stern. The side of the hull ispatterned with short diagonal lines in a herring bone pattern joined along a central rib (oars and oar locks?). Extending from the front of the hull are two short straight lines that are positioned above one another but may have been side by side on an actual boat. Beneath the boat is a ladder pattern which is narrower in the front of the boat widening as it extends toward the rear. On the seal the stool of the seated figure is barely visible. The seated figure is facing right and is positioned at the back of the boat. It is unclear what the figure is wearing but one arm is extended forward and possibly the other is extended back. The hand portion of the extended arm is divided in three with one part going toward the mouth of the figure, perhaps indicating that the figure is eating (?). In front of the figure is perhaps a jar with 2 straws extending from the top (?) and a loop at the base. In front of the boat is a crossed pair consisting of a lion facing left in front of a caprid facing right. In both cases there is a prominent hair pattern on the neck. [Input: S914MKB.j] |
| Style | 2008-09-14 | mKB | heads are outlined in heavy lines which form in the case of the human and caprid an oval interior void. The lion head is outlined to indicate a rectangle perhaps to show a profile lion's head with an open mouth and teeth. [Input: S914MKB.j] |
