Design: Three rearing animals; the two on the right have their bodies turned away and their heads facing each other, the right hand animal (a lion?) has a long straight upturned tail, the second animal in this pair is a homed quadruped with a short beard and is perhaps an antelope, the third animal on the left has splayed horns seen from the front and noticeable drill holes in his tail, a trait which Porada says is characteristic for Syrian Early Dynastic seals (1985, p. 92).
