Description: Drawing of a faience seal with double royal cartouche. Right: "Aakheperre-setepenamun", left: "Osorkon-meryamun". For long time this object was attributed to pharaoh Osorkon IV, but Aidan Dodson [The Coming of the Kushites and the Identity of Osorkon IV, in Pischikova et al. (eds.) 2014: Thebes in the First Millennium BC] recently pointed out that this object should be attributed to the earlier pharaoh Osorkon the Elder instead. Faience, unknown provenience, 21st Dynasty, Third Intermediate Period. Now in Leiden Museum (L. cat. XCVII. 330 - F.1971/9.1).
