Sasanian Empire Black Steatite Four Faces Cylinder Seal (224-651 AD)

Item Details

Description

This Sasanian black steatite cylinder seal, measuring 7x2 cm or approximately 2.76x0.79 inches, features the enigmatic design of four faces. Originating from the era spanning 224 to 651 AD, it represents the sophisticated artistry and complex iconography of the Sasanian Empire, one of the last great pre-Islamic civilizations in Persia. Seals such as this were used for signing documents and denoting ownership, making them an essential tool for the bureaucracy of the time. This piece, with its intricate carvings and historical importance, offers a tangible connection to an ancient bureaucracy and would be a standout addition to any collection of Near Eastern antiquities.
