| Description of the seal image | The scene is framed by line borders at the top and bottom. A bearded hunter (archer) wearing a long, belted robe with a fringed lower edge aims his bow at a striding bull. He has a quiver with arrows on his back. Between and behind the two figures are plants with curvy stems and branches. A wedge and a globe appear above the bull's back, while another wedge is behind the archer, on the ground. |
