Sasanian Era Stone Stamp Seal with Animal Head Looking Back, 3rd-7th Century AD

Item Details

Description

This Sasanian stamp seal is a flattened stone piece, measuring 2.5 by 2 by 1 cm or about 0.98 by 0.79 by 0.39 inches. It portrays an animal head looking back, a common motif which may hold symbolic meaning in Sasanian iconography, perhaps indicating vigilance or retrospection. The seal's simple yet evocative depiction is characteristic of the period's artistic style, which favored stylized animal forms. It is a remarkable example of Sasanian stone carving, offering a glimpse into the art and symbolism of the era.
