Fired-clay stamp

Anonymous artist

Hand-carved fired-clay stamp with a relief inscription on the front. Rectangular, somewhat curved. Light terracotta color. It shows almost symmetrical zoomorphic figures in a horizontal format divided into two parts, with a line serving as a margin. The piece has a handle at the back. The central division (which works as part of the margin) is not a line but is built from geometric figures, with the circle in the center.
