It is worth noting that in these earlier reports, seals were photographed in their original form. In Vats' monograph, photographs of the stamp seals were mostly taken from plaster casts of the originals, i.e. these photographs were the reverse of the original seal. This was done to allow the inscriptions to be read in the correct direction. For more details about the seals, see Vats, 1940.
