| Description | CBS Register: seal cylinder, shell. Archaic. PBS XIV: Hunters and their dogs, a very primitive scene. five nude men in short loin cloth step forth one arm up as wilding a weapong, and the other down. two or three of them seem to carry a short a dagger or curved stick. a scorpion in the field is perhaps a symbol. in the lower register upside down there are three more hunters in the same attitude - one is dwarfed for lack of space - followed by two dogs with curved tails. rough work done with the burr. the heads are indistinct and the shoulders are out of proportion. the reversed register is a new attempt at symmetry. cyl. seal. shell, 29 1/2 x 18 mm.
