| Description of the seal image | A bearded hunter (archer) wearing a brimmed headdress and a long, broad-belted robe aims his bow at a rampant lion, while another, fallen one is below the horse. He is standing in a chariot with an eight-spoked wheel and a spear with a round butt on its back. Based on the number of reins held by the charioteer, the vehicle is drawn by two horses. Above the horses is a bird, while above the rampant lion is an eight-rayed star, and below a fish. |
