What was the most probable function of the boss and perforation on the back of a seal?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Holding or suspending the seal with a cord
A raised boss with a perforation is a practical attachment feature: a cord could pass through it, allowing the seal to be held, worn, or suspended securely. This interpretation connects the physical design with likely use. The feature was not intended to fix a seal in a kiln, fill it with metal, or grind it; those actions do not explain the hole and boss together.
