| Description | UE III: a fragmentary impression on which are visible animal heads: an ass and a goat, a pictographic sign (ag): theloom (?), and perhaps the spread eagle. The elegant geometrical design on the butt-end of the cylinder seems borrowed from the Indian script (cf. Mohenjo-daro sign list, No. 131), D. 20 mm. Clay sealing. Baked and shellacked post-excavation. Fragment with circular designs from the stamp seals or from the ends of cylinders. |
