| Description of the seal image | The scene is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. A half-kneeling, bearded hero (archer) wearing a belted tunic with a hatched pattern and a fringed lower edge grasps a foreleg of a rampant wild goat (ibex) with his right hand and holds a scimitar in his lowered left hand. He has a sword at his waist. On his back, there is a quiver full of arrows. Behind the two figures, there is a plant with three branches. |
