An interesting rare pale green stone amuletic seal with pierced suspension loop at the top. The base is inscribed with five incised lines of hieroglyphic cursive script, which possibly referring to a man called Sessi (son of It-Sessy??), and perhaps another name with the theophoric element Amun? and that he may live forever, but this interpretation is not verified.
