SEAL ENGRAVED WITH A MOUNTAIN GOAT White stone H. 3 cm Anatolia, 2nd millennium B.C. Conical seal with a flat circular base. The seal face is engraved in intaglio with a goat with long, curved horns—presumably an ibex—whose body bears a hole for the seal pin. A small crescent-shaped motif occupies the field on the right, and a line of triangular patterns appears beneath the animal. The entire design is framed by a border of hatched triangles.
