TAA i.3.23.38

          The first device is evidently of the house of Tut.Ankh.Amen, while 

the second would seem, with little doubt, to be a departmental 

seal of the Necropolis administration.

          Although these seal impressions may be said to be good 

imprints, the perfunctory manner in which the ceremony 

was performed caused much of their details to be wanting. 

Thus the imprints are not sufficiently perfect to give an 

<? x> absolute rendering of the matrixes. The imprint of the principle 

seal, however, is sufficiently good to identify the three rows 

of three captives, beneath the king’s cartouche and the 

Anubis animal, as definitely Asiatic (see fig. ..., cf. also 

seal impressions e and i, pp. ...). The impression of the 

counter-seal is, unfortunately, not so good. Here the three 

rows of three alien captives, beneath the Anubis animal, 

appear at first sight to be all Africans in contradistinction 

to the Asiatics on the former seal, but careful examination 

and ca/<o>mparison with similar seal impressions in this tomb, 

some possibly from the same matrix, leaves little doubt 

that they represent both Asiatic and African captives. 

Nevertheless/<But>, it is not possible to tell with any exactitude their 

order: probably the first five represent Asiatic captives, and 

the succeeding four African captives (see fig .; seal

impressions h, J and L, pp. …).
