Iconographic description, specific 2009-09-03 mKB iconography is unclear because seal was rolled when the clay was too wet to hold the impression. This is also the cause of the deep impression along the edge of the rolling; the person who rolled the seal must have known that the seal was being impressed deeper than normal but for some reason did not rectify the situation.
