Context (Analysis)
On Tuesday 14th November 2017 Dr Kate Spence analysed this seal and noted that it was from a stamp that would have been used in the Valley of the Kings, known as a Necropolis stamp. This would have been specific to the area. It is currently unclear from which cache at the Valley this seal impression came.
