c4.s8.t4.3

The square 'unicorn' seals have been divided into six groups: (I) 43.5 mm and more, (II) 35 - 43 mm, (III) 29 - 34.5 mm, (IV) 23 - 28.5 mm, (V) 17.5 - 22.5 mm, (VI) 17 mm and less. Within each size group, the 'unicorn' seals have been further arranged according to stylistic criteria. We have adopted the basic scheme developed by Paul Rissman by placing first the unicorns with a "collar", then the unicorns with "hatched neck", and finally the unicorns with "hatched face". Each of these groups, which apparently have a chronological significance, is subdivided according to the details of the "cultic object" in front of the unicorn.⁸⁴
