Seal

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The seal, by Seal, depicts a light-colored stone object with a square base and a small animal on top. The base is rectangular with slightly rounded edges and corners, featuring darker spots and lines scattered throughout. A vertical line runs down the center, dividing the base into two parts. The animal, possibly a mythical creature or a lion-like beast, sits atop the base, facing right. It has a curled tail and appears to be roaring or snarling with its mouth open. The background is solid black.
