| Description of the seal image | The cylinder image is framed by a quadruple-line border at the top. The royal hero grasps a rampant lion-dragon with one hand and holds a dagger in the other. He wears a dentate crown (cidaris) and Persian clothing (court robe) and is armed with a bow case (gorytos) on his back. Behind the royal hero is a rampant wild goat (ibex). A small stylised plant appears between the hybride creature and the wild goat. The stamp image shows a rosette. |
