Figure with spear standing behind two male figures, each wearing girdle with tasseled ends

"Seal 969 is difficult to interpret. At first glance the scene seems to depict actions, probably ritual, that involve mutilation of the male organ. However, it is also possible that the rendering is intended to portray garments like those on the murals of the tomb of Rekhmire, where thy are worn by figures representative of north-Mediterranean peoples. Moreover, the long curls of the figures in these murals resemble the coiffure of the men in 969. Since the tomb of Rekhmire is dated as of the time of Thutmose III or of Amenhotep, in the fifteenth century, the seal in question may likewise be of that century. On the other hand the subsidiary scene shows an ibex rendered very much like a corresponding animal on a seal found in the necropolis of Minat al Baida, which is adjacent to Ras Shamra, in layers dated between the fifteenth and thirteenth century B.C."--Porada, CANES, p. 130
