Cretan hieroglyphics on a four-sided seal/nodule may reveal signs of early Linear A:
Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.
Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.

Purely from a pictographic point of view it looks like the seal of a cattleman’s affairs, from penning to feeding to skinning to butchery. Thanks for the site. I find it fascinating. Paul V/Thailand
Yes, that surely does make a great deal of sense, Paul Louis!
Thanks!
