Description of the seal image	A winged hero grasps a rampant lion-griffin or lion-dragon with one hand and holds a sickle sword (scimitar) in the other while trampling on the hybrid creature's hind leg. He wears a headdress and a long, broad-belted, fringed, open robe over a short tunic decorated with both a dot-in-square and a hexagonal pattern. Behind the two figures is a vertically-set three-line cuneiform inscription.
