Near Eastern style Stone Cylinder Seal
Style of circa 2nd millennium BC or later
This cylindrical stone seal, crafted from brown-red stone, exhibits a biconical profile adorned with bands of drilled dots on each end. The central field is intricately engraved with a depiction of the "master of animals," a figure wearing a long pleated skirt, taming a group of animals. This motif reflects the ancient Mesopotamian belief in human dominance over nature.
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. Beyond their utilitarian function, these seals also depict mythological scenes, religious motifs, and historical narratives, offering invaluable insights into the cultural and social contexts of ancient Mesopotamia.
