The front of the tablet is inscribed in Elaminte



On the back has an impression that identifies the seal's original owner as "Cyrus, son of Teipses, an Azanite.  Some scholoars believe he was the grandfather of Cyrus the Great, who rule the Persian Empire before Darius



An elaborate relief, on the Grand  Staircase leading to the Council House, depicts a lion attacking a bull.
