Seal with Unicorn and Inscription

Cleveland Museum of Art

The seal features a light-colored stone, possibly white or off-white, with visible signs of aging and wear. The stone is rectangular in shape but has a broken upper right corner. The seal depicts a mythical creature, specifically a unicorn-like figure with a single horn protruding from its forehead. The creature faces left and appears to be in motion. Above the creature is an inscription consisting of several symbols and markings. On the lower left side of the seal, there are vertical symbols. The seal appears to be ancient in origin. The background of the image is a plain gray surface.
