Description of the seal image	The scene is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. A bearded hero grasps a human-headed winged lion (lamassu, sphinx) on either side, each by a foreleg. He wears a long, double-belted, tiered and fringed, open robe over a short tunic. On either side of his legs is a 'ball-and-staff' symbol and a rhomb, respectively.
