Bussmann notes that the 'encircled man displayed [on the sealing] does not seem to have a close parallel, but encircled nfr-signs feature regularly on patterns of the late Middle Kingdom' (p. 322). Therefore 'Unknown' has been removed from the Period field and replaced with 'Middle Kingdom'.

Description (CMS Description)
Clay sealing with top, bottom and right sides broken. Only one of the three oval impressions is preserved to some recognizable degree. It shows a circle around a squatting (?) figure with one arm to the mouth (or does this represent a beard?) and the other hanging down. The adjacent sign might be the upper part of an anx-sign. The impression to the right is largely eroded but seems to derive from the same sealing pattern. The third impression is completely eroded. The base of the scarab used measures 1.0 x 0.7 cm. The surface of the reverse side is largely eroded. The mould in the centre could derive from a twisted string. (See Bussmann)
