Seal with Two-Horned Bull and Inscription

Cleveland Museum of Art

A small, rectangular stone seal with a light beige color and visible signs of aging and wear. The seal features an animal with a long snout and two horns on its head, facing left, carved with a long curved tail and four legs. On the left side of the seal, another creature with large wings appears to be attacking the bull. Above the bull, an oval shape possibly represents the sun. A series of symbols or inscriptions are carved into the stone, likely representing an ancient form of writing. The background of the image is a plain gray surface. The title of the seal is "Seal with Two-Horned Bull and Inscription" by an unknown artist.
