Among the clay sealings from Knossos stored in the Heraklion Museum was found, in 1990, a hitherto unnoted roundel inscribed on both sides with signs in Linear A. The only completely preserved sign, AB 04 (TE), may perhaps represent an ideogram, while the motif on the two incompletely preserved seal impressions of a goat-monster seems to represent a development of the Minoan Genius not previously noted. The exact provenance is unknown. The suggested date of the document is MM III/LM I
