ds some small holes, cloth impressions
nt bulla with an unclear number of rollings, some rollings may have overlapped with others; all rollings are of the same seal. The inscription box appears to be one wide column.
is seated figure in long garment facing left,with left arm bent close to the body. The uppermost part of the stool is preserved and is divided into five or six squares in two rows.Shamash in A12.82 is seated on a similar stool.Behind the seated figure the inscription is carved in what appears to be a wide column. The inscription box portion of the seal may have been rolled over part of the scene in front of the seated figure. On the other side of the inscription box is a standing figure facing right in a long garment with the left arm forward and bent and the right arm across the body and may be holding something. Another part of the rolling appears to be flames and may indicate that the seated person is Shamash. However it is perhaps a table top with long narrow loaves of bread parallel to the top above. Studying the photos of the bulla it seems more likely, from the position of these parallel lines that they are the rays coming off the shoulder of Shamash. Or none of these speculations!

ds three rollings rolled in TIP, peg impression which has two sharp edges not quite at right angles to each other
is lowest rolling unclear, middle rolling: façade of winged gate with one wing preserved, wing filled with horizontal lines and is unusual in the comparative literature because the one wing preserved slants downward.
;drawing by Fonda needs to be revised: not in drawing building placed on the back of a bull (not preserved enough to tell if it is standing or reclining), bull ear large and prominent, one elongated horn extended over top of head (it is possible that this is not a horn but rather an arm and hand extended over the head of the animal)
st bull neck is clearly modeled with detailed hair pattern on the front of the neck, the carving is diagonal with respect to the background but the beveled edge is not carved.

Behind this figure is an inscription box with a uru sign visible.; the box may have an animal facing right below; if this is correct then the scene could be similar to k2, q2 or h4.

nt the cuneiform sign in the photo shown in the A12 book is clearly different from the one given in the drawing, and it does not seem that the difference may be explained as a result of the rolling action. It would seem that there is a mistake in numbering, and that these are two different items. The label on the drawing says "A12q528 1-1" which also suggests that we are dealing with two different items.
