Description Dimensions estimated from plate size. Letter size is also an estimate, no figure is reported. 13 lines on the first plate, 11 on the second plus a seal impression.
Decoration There is a seal impression near the bottom of the second plate, about one quarter of the length of the plate from the left margin. The seal is oval in shape and consists of a short legend (see edition), upside down in relation to the main text. It is impressed over a horizontal line near the bottom margin, extending from near the left edge from near the right edge except where obliterated by the seal. This may be an incised line or perhaps the thickening at the edge of the plate is wider here and has a sharp, stepped edge.
