| Description of the seal image | The scene is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. A bearded, four-winged hero stands between a rampant wild goat (ibex) and a rampant bull. He wears a fringed tunic or kilt and appears to have a sickle sword (scimitar) hanging from his belt. Behind his head is a star, while behind his legs is a rhomb. A curved line appears around his lower right wing. Behind the animals is a stylised plant. |
