Round seal made of intaglio rock crystal. The decoration shows a beardless male person in three-quarter profile. The hair is brushed from the centre of the head and forms a heavy bandeau over forehead and ears which is tied with a fillet. The man wears a bead earring and a plain tunic laced in the front. On either side of the head, three Br_hm_ characters have been incised.

Item type seal
Elliptical seal made of intaglio garnet. Shown is a woman riding on a lion. She has hair falling over her shoulders and wears a skirt and a heavy girdle. Her upper body is bare and in her left hand, she holds a staff or a standard. The lion is depicted with a wide-open mouth, a forked tongue and a curled up tail. The decoration could be a slightly modified representation of the goddess Cybele, who is normally shown as arriving in a lion-drawn chariot to the accompaniment of music, wine, and a disorderly, ecstatic following. Alternatively, it could be a representation of the Indian goddess Durga who also rides on a lion.
