Rare Mesopotamian / Babylonian Stone Cylinder Seal
Circa 1st milllennium BC
This interesting stone cylinder seal is engraved and perforated through its centre.
Cylinder seals are primarily associated with Mesopotamian civilizations. These small, cylindrical objects, typically made of stone or other durable materials, bear intricate engravings that serve as both artistic expressions and practical tools. Originating in Sumer around 3500 BC, cylinder seals played a crucial role in administrative and economic transactions, serving as personal signatures for individuals in various aspects of daily life. The cylindrical shape allowed for easy rolling impressions onto clay or other soft materials, creating a unique and identifiable mark.
Size: L:19.1mm / W:10.3mm ; 2.63g
Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s; previously in 1970s UK collection.
