Iconographic description, specific 2007-00-00 fAB The seal impression has three elements. The first seems to be a deity, only half visible in the rolling. The figure has a horned crown, with one pair of horns (only one visible). The left arm of the figure is bent with the hand at the waist and the elbow away from the body. The second element is another human figure, this one with what seems to be a cap with a wide band. The right hand of this figure is also at the waist, with the elbow away from the body. The third element is an animal figure. This figure is a quadruped which is standing upright, with an elongated neck which curves forward. The way that the figure stands and the position of the forehands may indicate an anthropomorphic portrayal. [Input: ZIz11mKB.j]
