| Details | The (viewer's) left fragment of a seal impression in clay, probably baked. This fragment is roughly half of the elliptical original, broken along a line close to the vertical diameter. Dimensions not reported. Of the Maukhari emblem in the upper part (about one third of the total height), the head and neck of the bull and the whole of the man leading it survive; the rest is lost. The device is separated from the text by a double horizontal line, turning upwards at 45° at the two ends. |
