<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2447978, member: 44316&quot;]The OP image looks a lot like the impression of a stamp seal. Even today some letter writers pour hot wax over the flap of an envelope and press stamp seals into the wax. If one side is a head, the other side is flat. It is common, in order to see the design of the seal better, to make impressions, sometimes in clay. Dealers do this when selling seals. I have a number of clay impressions of supposedly ancient seals (I don&#039;t have any seals, just old, but modern, impressions they made). So, I suggest the OP impression might be a modern impression of a stamp seal. Whether the original seal was ancient or not, I do not know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
