The design consists of two standing Lamma goddesses facing a three-line cuneiform inscription naming the ancient owner. The goddesses wear horned tiaras and long flounced robes and are raising both hands. The inscription reads:
Gimillum,
son of Shamash-gamil,
servant of Amurru.
This is an old Babylonian seal, c.2000-1700 B.C. It is a classic type, well engraved and in good condition. The stone is cracked but the design remains complete. Amurru was god of domestic animals.
