Description (Physical description)
Mackay on the original seal (1938): 'Seal 222 depicts a figure, probably that of a deity, seated in what may be a yogi attitude with the heels pressed together on a low dais, whose legs represent those of a bull. The arms are outstretched on either side, but it is possible that the hands are intended to rest on the knees and that the seal-cutter merely raised them slightly to obviate any confusion of the ams with the legs. On each are there is a large number of bracelets. The head-dress is a twig with leaves like those of the pipal. The horns, if, indeed that are horns, are definitely separate from the head: they are, moreover, represented as fastened to the base of the twig. The figure has three faces, one in front and two in profile' (p. 335).
