Ancient Levantine Limestone Seal with Wavy Edge Motif, Iron Age II (900-600 BC)

Item Details

Description

This ancient limestone seal, measuring 3x2 cm (1.18x0.79 inches), is a remarkable relic from the Iron Age II period (900-600 BC), a time when artistic expression in stone carving in the Levant reached new heights of sophistication. The bifacial nature of the seal and its distinctive wavy edge pattern delineate it as a product of advanced craftsmanship from the period specified. Such seals were integral to the bureaucratic systems of the time, used to authenticate documents and secure property. The iconography present on this piece, though weathered, suggests a blend of geometric and naturalistic motifs that may have held symbolic significance in the ancient Near Eastern societies.

Recovered from a site of historical significance in the Levant, this artifact was incorporated into the private collection of Mr. B.F., a renowned connoisseur of Near Eastern antiquities, in the early 2000s. It changed hands to a private European collection in 2010, where it has been maintained with utmost care, ensuring the longevity and integrity of its historical value.
