520 |a The two most frequently encountered sealing motifs discovered at Tell Edfu show decorative patterns that make the identification of their respective owners extremely difficult, in contrast to private name sealings dating to the late Middle Kingdom and early Second Intermediate Period (ca. 1770–1650 b.c.e.) that offer names and titles of officials operating on the local and national level. Decorative motifs per se do not reveal any details about their owners apart from the fact that they were part of the administrative system, probably belonging to the lower tier of officials who remain relatively invisible in the majority of textual records. However, by analyzing the archaeological context and the back-types of such sealings, some information can be gained about their respective owners, and it is possible to consider questions as to whether they were local officials or simply sending sealed commodities to Edfu from elsewhere.
