• description:
The seal shows two registers of objects, possibly pots alternating with a pattern of triangles. The pots appear to have large, looped handles with horizontal lines running between the handles and the pots. (These may actually be basketry holders for
the pots.) The pattern is similar to Jemdat Nasr style seals (e.g., Amiet, La Glyptique Mesopotamienne Archaique 1980, PL. 21 no. 340).
