Unknown artist
Pyramidal stamp seal with slightly convex, octagonal base and bore through upper section. Engraving in low relief depicting two identical, bearded priests or worshippers standing opposite each other, with arms raised, before a spherical symbol, possibly ‘spade of Marduk’ or ‘Stylus of Nabu’. The figutes are wearing round headdresses and long robes. Much use of drill-hole engraving for heads, hair, beards, and shoulders. Semi-translucent, bluish-grey chalcedoony.
