Physical description
Rectangular seal with a flat base and gabled top. Perforated at either end, 4.5-5.0 mm wide. Engraved with a hand tool with the body sections probably gouged out as a preliminary step. The engraving depicts a quadruped, possibly an antelope, with long, backward-curving horns and a short stubby tail, walking to the left. Above the haunch is a four point star.
