Description

attached to small part of vessel; there are two executive dies for Salama that previously were not recognized as different; the only difference is in the mim of Salama, which in one case extends below the line and looks like a ha' and in the other case stays entirely above the line; ANS has both kinds; this stamp seems to belong to the first category, to which probably also belong EIGS.254-256 (only 255 illustrated), Morton.261 (illustration not clear), ANS 1991.3.387, EAG.101, B.463-464, Petrie.226 (illustration not clear); from the other die: B.465-466, CAM.153; not illustrated: Launois.312-315, CAM II.25, Miles' cards: Llewellyn, Glidden, Ghalib
