Note 120 — THE VARIETIES OF EGYPTIAN SEALS.

Among the jewellry discovered by M. de Morgan at Dahshûr (temp. Usertsen II) was an exquisite gold ring (certainly not of Egyptian manufacture), with two spirals worked on its bezel in gold wire-work. (See De Morgan, Dahchour, I, p. 68, fig. 145.) In the Ashmolean Museum is a black ware vase from Egypt of the style characteristic of the late Twelfth Dynasty deposits, which has a punctuated returning spiral ornament round the upper part of its body.
