Sides: two winged monsters of slightly differing type; lunar crescent and other fillers, the design between rules. Base: winged quadruped. The stamp-cylinder is from the ancient Urartu, the area around lake Van, and dates c. 900-700 B.C. It has a pierced lug at the top which allows the base to be used as a stamp seal.
