Various seals are also found which were usually made of steatite, and occasionally of agate, copper, and terracotta, and even gold and ivory with beautiful figures of animals, such as unicorn bull, rhinoceros, tiger, elephant, bison, goat, buffalo, etc. It appears that the seals were also used as amulets, carried on the persons of their owners, perhaps as modern-day identity cards.
