This overall “hexagram” is a star of David (six-pointed star made from two triangles crossed) inscribed in a circle, so the points of the star just touch the circle.

In the space between the circle and the Star of David we have the letters A G L A and the Greek letters Alpha “Α” and Omega “Ω”.

Alpha and Omega is a name for God and Jesus given in the Book of Revelation.

In the triangles made by the points of the star are distribted the letters of the word “Tetragrammaton” which is the four-letter name of God.

In the bottom triangle are two mis-drawn Hebrew letters described below.

There is a cross on each point of the start, sitting outside the circle. The cross was made a symbol of Jesus in the fourth century by the emperor Constantine, even though the Gospels had Jesus crucified on a post or pole, not a cross.

In the centre is a Greek letter tau, but here drawn more as a beheaded cross, with squares for nails for hands and feet, and the word “TAU” beneath it.

The writing and the crosses are not things Solomon would likely have used. The central cross is a Greek letter Tau in the oldest manuscript, and the signs beneath it (whether or not reversed) are bad copies of the Hebrew letters Yod (with triangle), “ׯ” and He “ה” (the Yod with a triangle symbolizes the tetragrammaton, the four-letter name of God).

Obviously Solomon did not use a seal or symbol with English or Latin or Greek writing on it (if he even existed).
