Notes
Seals 105 and 106, however, and perhaps also 107 and 112, belong to the Second Early Dynastic period... Seal 106 corresponds closely with a seal from Fara (Berlin 101) dated by Moortgat in that period, and 107 has a linear execution, suggesting that this seal too was was made before the Third Early Dynastic period."
