To celebrate Christmas 2019 here are 2 dusky red carnelian seals from different countries and maybe centuries, both with intaglio carving of animals.

| Seal carving of deer? |

| Carving of bird |
The left seal looks like a deer with antlers on the head but wings on the body seem contrary. It has the feel of some legendary animal from ancient times. It is oval shaped and is also a bead as it is perforated from both sides and measures 3 cm across.

| Seal is also perforated |
The tiny, round seal on the right has a bird carving on one side and is plain on the other. Measures 1.5 cm
 |
| Plain back |
The deer like seal was purchased in China while the bird seal was bought in Cambodia. I don't know what exact age or culture these seals belong to so just enjoy them as lovely artworks from the past. 😊
....And not forgetting the plasticine impressions of the two seals.
