Stamp seal with a depiction of a bull's head. Stamp seal with a full, arched handle with a horizontally drilled hole. On its rectangular base is carved a schematic bull's head with small ears and long, curved horns, between which is a jug with a triangular belly and a long, narrow neck with a handle. On either side of the bull's muzzle are carved short arrows with triangular heads pointing downwards—possibly a simplified representation of snakes. The whole is framed with beadwork. Unknown Cypriot workshop. Late Bronze Period, 14th–13th century BC previously c. 1450–1250 BC. Cyprus. Seal. Height 3.2 cm; width 5.4 cm; depth 3.5 cm., A small, dark object with a rounded rectangular shape and a worn, slightly glossy surface showing lighter worn areas; the top features a carved, central raised motif resembling a curved U-shape with a vertical element inside, and there are a few small circular indentations forming a border along the top and sides; the lower portion shows carved angular lines and shallow gouges with a row of small circular marks along the bottom; overall colors visible are black, dark brown, and lighter beige where the surface is worn.
