| Description of the seal image | The scene is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. A bearded hero (archer) wearing a long, broad-belted robe aims his bow at a striding winged bull. He is further armed with a sword at his waist. Between the two figures is a wedge. In front of the hybrid creature is a stylised plant with three branches, below it is a fish, while above it is a crescent moon and a six-rayed, globe-centred star. |
