Context (Analysis)
Research was undertaken by Kathryn Kelley and David Young in 2018, partially funded by the Crowther-Beynon Grant, as part of a larger Oxford University project ’Seals and Their Impressions in the Ancient Near East’ (SIANE). Kathryn Kelley ultimately provided updates to the description and date.
Information regarding her analysis can be found in the archive, Doc.492.

Context (Amendments / updates)
The date field previously stated '?Babylonian'. Kathryn Kelley provided the date 'Latter half of the 2nd millennium BC (15th-13th c. BC)?' and so the field has been updated to reflect this.
