Cylinder seals with figures
in the Petrie Museum (unprovenanced)
Seals with figures ('Figurenzylinder') are decorated with symbolic figures. Cylinder seals of this kind are closely datable because some of them mention a king's name. The earliest name of a king on such a seal is that of king Djedkare of the Fifth Dynasty.
