Darstellung:

 Four overlapping pairs of concentric circles (Keel 1995: § 493); such circles are known on „Hyksos“ scarabs and seals from Canaan: Keel 1997b: Tell el-˓Aǧul Nr. 179, 948; mainly, however, from Egypt: Mayana: Petrie/Brunton 1924/1: pl. 43:2.20.21.26-28.32, 33.35.37.45; and Nubia (Ukma): Andreu 1987: 243 (226/13), pl. 7/8 (226/13); Ben-Tor 2007: pl. 37,1-46; considering the Mayana and similar Egyptian and Nubian examples the seal is probably of Second Intermediate Period Egyptian origin.
