| Description of the seal image | The scene is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. A beardless attendant faces a bearded king or dignitary. The attendant wears a long fringed robe, has a towel thrown over his shoulder, and holds a fan and a cloth. The king wears similar clothing, has a sword at his waist and holds a cup and a bow. Behind the two figures is a vessel on a stand (pot-stand). Above it is a wedge next to a crescent moon. |
