Prancing bull and tree [seal impression]. [modern impression of seal created between 750 and 612 B.C.]

Bull prancing beneath a crescent moon, approaching a tree from the left. The bull's face is nearly frontal, his front legs are off the ground, and his tail arches over his back. The tree, which stands on a wavy baseline resembling two hills, is highly stylized, with arm-like lower limbs and six crossing rays on top.
