White, grey and brown banded agate cylinder-seal; two four-winged, frontal (female?) figures turn their heads towards each other (or away from each other depending on how the seal is rolled) and alternate with two quadrupeds (possibly gazelles or goats), reclining towards the left with their head turned back towards the right. The figures are punctuated by drill-holes of different sizes; two mark the shoulder-length hair and others indicate the eye, the tip of the nose, shoulders or breasts, abdomen and the heels of the out-turned feet; the legs of the figure on the left are not shown, but those of the figure on the right were cut and the knees are marked by drill-holes; they have wings of equal length, with one row of feathers, and they wear long, vertically-striated skirts with a thin line running across the figures at waist level and down each side of the skirts. The quadrupeds are blocked out and details of eye, muzzle, joints and hooves are also marked by drill-holes. Line borders at top and bottom. Edges chipped.
