Description
Carved in the 3rd millennium BC, this terracotta stamp seal is an exquisite representation of ancient Near Eastern iconography. With dimensions of 4x3.5 cm (1.57x1.38 inches), the seal bears the impression of a solar deity, a testament to the civilization's reverence for celestial entities. The intricate carvings reflect the high esteem for divine symbols and their integral role in the cultural and religious practices of the era.
The seal's journey through time begins with its discovery in the hands of an antiquities scholar in the mid-20th century. It was later part of the esteemed S.H. collection in Berlin until 2005, and most recently, it has been a part of a private collection in Geneva, carefully preserved for posterity.
