Bivar, Professor of Iranian Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, which states: 'Chalcedony ellipsoid. One the base, three stylised human figures walking r., the rearmost holding a stick(?). Behind, a scorpion, above, quadruped, below r., three Pahlavi characters, unread. On the reverse, a clumsy Pahlavi inscription. The last word appears to be dhtar 'daughter', though this word is usually spelt with w?w, but it is otherwise unread. Above, left, dog, below, right, camel'. See Gyselen, R., Catalogue des sceaux, camées et bulles sassanides, II, No.10.E.4=Ph. Gignoux, Op. Cit. Vol. I, No. 9.1. 10.6 grams, 24mm (1).

A.D.H. Bivar, Professor of Iranian Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, states 'This is possibly a magical amulet. Other similar pieces also carry inscriptions on the reverse.'
