The image shows two ancient artifacts, a cylinder seal and a clay tablet with an impression of the seal. The seal is made of black stone and features a relief carving of a figure in a headdress, possibly a king or deity, standing between two other figures. The seal is cylindrical in shape and has a flat top and bottom.

The clay tablet is rectangular in shape and has a raised border around the edges. It features an impression of the seal, which is pressed into the clay to create a negative image of the design. The impression shows the same figure in a headdress, standing between two other figures, as well as some additional details such as lines and shapes that are not visible on the seal itself.

Both the seal and the tablet are likely from ancient Mesopotamia, possibly from the Sumerian or Akkadian periods, based on the style of the carvings and the materials used. The seal may have been used to authenticate documents or mark ownership, while the tablet may have been used to record transactions or messages.
