Description
This Sasanian stamp seal, sized at 3 by 2.5 cm or approximately 1.18 by 0.98 inches, is crafted from diorite. The seal features a deeply incised representation of an animal, possibly an ibex, which is a recurrent motif in Sasanian art symbolizing nobility and vigor. The preservation of the detailed carving on this dense, durable stone indicates the high level of artisanship. This piece not only functioned as a practical tool for sealing documents but also as an object of artistic expression during its time.
