I find it interesting the seal has an Egyptian Ankh on it. I am not going to read amything into that, it makes sens as The Hebrews do have an Egyptian heritage.
The Article is interesting from an archaelogical view and from a religious view it does show a connection between various mideastern religions.
Seal of Biblical-Era King Discovered
(Newser) – Archaeologists in Jerusalem say they've made a first-of-its kind discovery: the seal of an ancient Israelite king—one that may have been made by his own hand. Researchers digging in Old Jerusalem think the seal impression, or bulla, comes from King Hezekiah, who ruled in the 8th century BC, reports the Times of Israel. Seal of Biblical-Era King Discovered

The history indicates that Hezekiah had thrown in his lot with Egypt as a way of breaking away from Assyrian rule. In the event, Assyria beat the Egyptians and their Canaanite allies, including Israel and Judah, were left to stand up to Sennacherib alone.
That might possibly be further fill -in for why an Egyptian symbol appears on Hezekiah's seal.
