帕提亚人 皂石 狼纹印章

Embark on a historical odyssey with this rare Parthian soapstone seal, adorned with an intaglio of a majestic wolf. Spanning from the 3rd century BCE to the 3rd century CE, this seal is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and symbolic artistry . Its provenance and authenticity are affirmed by Dr. Istvan Zelnik, making it a prized collectible. We present an extraordinary Parthian soapstone seal, a significant relic . The intaglio, expertly carved into the surface of this seal, depicts a wolf - a creature often associated with power, cunning, and a guardian spirit in many ancient cultures, including the Parthian. Measuring 40mm in length, 24mm in width, and 28mm in height, and weighing 47.136 grams, this artifact's dimensions are a statement of its importance and utility. The preservation of its ancient patina amidst signs of use and age not only authenticates its historical essence but also enhances its aesthetic and archaeological value. Soapstone was chosen for seals for its durability and the ease with which it could be intricately carved. The wolf motif on this seal may have signified authority or protection, possibly used to authenticate documents and goods, which resonates with the animal's vigilant nature. This seal's rarity is underscored by its well-documented history of ownership. It carries a certificate of authenticity from Dr. Istvan Zelnik, whose reputation in the collection of historical artifacts is well-established. Dr. Zelnik's acquisition of this piece in Karachi during a diplomatic mission in 1980 adds to the seal's narrative and mystique. VISUAL ANALYSIS REPORT: This Parthian soapstone seal features a prominently carved intaglio of a wolf, an animal that may have been symbolic in Parthian culture, possibly representing strength, guardianship, or a tribal totem. The craftsmanship suggests it was used to stamp or seal documents, indicating the authority or identity of the owner. The wear on the surface attests to its age and use, enhancing its value as an object of historical interest. Such seals are relatively rare, with each one having a unique intaglio, making this piece a significant and intriguing artifact for collectors, particularly due to its well-preserved ancient patina and clear, discernible imagery.
