Item Details
Description
This Sasanian gem stamp seal, featuring the powerful image of an ibex, dates back to the 3rd-4th Century AD. It measures 1.9 x 1.5 x 0.3 cm (0.75 x 0.59 x 0.12 inches) and is a testament to the craftsmanship of ancient seal makers. The ibex, a symbol of vitality and strength, is exquisitely depicted amidst stars, suggesting its importance and revered status in Sasanian iconography. Such seals were not only utilitarian objects used to secure documents and goods but also carried great symbolic weight, often indicating the status or profession of the owner. This particular piece, with its finely carved details and the luminous quality of the gem material, would have been a prized possession, indicative of the high aesthetic and cultural values of the Sasanian period.
