Se oversettelseMesopotamia Hardstein Cylinder seal
Nr. 90345907
A fine Mesopotamian cylinder seal carved from a rich black hardstone, decorated with intricate engraving. The engraved scene depicts heavily stylised vegetation, with trees, vines and shrubbery. A humanoid figure with their arms raised can be seen amongst the trees, perhaps a huntsman. The seal is perforated longitudinally for suspension. Some earthy encrustations are visible to the surface. This seal comes with a professionally baked, modern impression.
Seals were often made of stone however there are also examples rendered in bone, ivory, faience, glass, metal, wood, and even sun-dried or baked clay. In the ancient world, seals guaranteed the authenticity of marked ownership – as such, they were instrumental in legal transactions, and in the protection of goods against theft. Seal amulets with stylised animals have been found throughout Mesopotamia in contexts dating to the late fourth millennium BC, although stamp seals and cylinder seals were the predominant types in the ancient Near East.
Measurements (seal): L 2.2cm x W 1.1cm
Measurements (impression): L 4cm x W 2.4cm
Provenance: From an important Mayfair collection, 1970-1999; thence by descent.
