Morgan Seal 1039
Provenance:
Acquired by Pierpont Morgan sometime between 1885 and 1908.
Notes:
"Seal 1039 has been included in this group because its figures, like those in 1038, are rendered more or less as rectangular forms topped by globes. A contest with animals may be depicted here, even though the figures seem completely static."--Porada, CANES, p. 144
Summary:
