KING HEZEKIAH’S SEAL IMPRESSION (bulla) mentions his name and the name of his father, Aḥaz, in the upper register, as well as Hezekiah’s title as king of Judah in the lower register. The symbol of the two-winged sun disk flanked on both sides by an ankh extends over the full length of the bulla’s central part. On the back of the bulla is seen the imprint of the papyrus on which the bulla was impressed.
