After lurking on this list for years, finally I can do something
vaguely useful. :-)

A piece about this appeared in The Times on Tuesday 15 May.
There was a picture of the seal spread over three columns but this
didn't make it to the online version of the story (which is at
<http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,3-201723,00.html>, with no
need to register, unlike its New York cousin).

I have made some scans of the picture and put them at
<http://www.aldie.org.uk/unicode/>.

The Times credits the picture to Fred Hiebert, who is one of the
archaeologists named in the story, so I hope I am fairly safe
against rampaging copyright lawyers. :-)
