Small oval designs pair engraved figures with inscriptions on their reverse sides.
A large oval contains a standing figure within a long crescent-shaped vessel, with animal-like heads at its ends.
Four versions of a radiant-headed serpent appear with their corresponding inscriptions and signs.
An animal-headed standing figure raises sceptres near the centre while serpents and smaller deities fill the surrounding gems.
Winged figures, an ibis-headed deity and a bearded composite head occupy several oval gems.
A deeply modelled face fills the upper centre above a round seal bearing a standing female figure.
Rows of triangles, crosses, circles, letter-like strokes and other signs cover the comparison plate.
