c9.s8.t2.21

The ancient seal impressions stand for the seals they were once made with, so they are placed next to the actual seals. A distinction is made between impressions on pots, which come first, and impressions on clay tags. Uninscribed sides of clay tags that have been attached to bales of goods are illustrated, if they bear significant traces of the package material. The tags have been arranged according to the number of seal impressions they contain, those with single impressions being placed first, then according to the iconography and the inscriptions of the seal impressions.76
