3. An economic document proving the receipt
of barley for feeding cattle
(Seal impression)

A bearded deity in a horned headdress (a distinguishing feature of a deified person) is sitting on a throne with high back; a personal goddess leads an official (seal’s owner) by the left hand, in order to introduce him to the seated god. Behind the worshipper there is an inscription. On the seal impression the same scene was repeated several times.
