A group of peculiar seals in the Hieroglyphic corpus
Anna Margherita Jasink Studi Micenei ed Egeo-Anatolici 53 (2011): 131-149.
From the introduction
The shape generally used by carvers of Hieroglyphic seals is the prismatic one (with three or four lateral faces). Among the exceptions are the seals with one face, which form a considerable group of twenty-two seals, which will be analyzed elsewhere; the 4-sided bar from Arkhanes, already the object of specific analyses; and the remaining group of “exceptions”, listed in the table below, consisting of seals recognized as Hieroglyphic (numbered in CHIC) and of two seals which are not always included in the corpus of Hieroglyphic seals. This last group presents many common traits and constitutes a small corpus into the Hieroglyphic patrimony.
