| Description of the seal image | The scene is framed by a line border at the top. A bearded hero grasps a rampant bull on either side, each by a foreleg. He wears a round headdress and a long, belted, open robe over a short tunic. Below the animal on the left is a star, while a 'ball-and-staff' is on the right and a crescent moon above. |
