Description
The offered Sasanian seal, carved from lapis lazuli, measures 2 by 1.5 by 1 cm, or approximately 0.79 by 0.59 by 0.39 inches. It features an engraved ibex, an animal frequently represented in Sasanian art, often symbolizing authority and grace. Notably, this seal includes a loop, suggesting it was worn or carried for easy access. The deep celestial blue of the lapis, sprinkled with golden pyrite flecks, adds to the seal's allure, making it a prized possession in the Sasanian era and a valuable collectible today.
