Ancient Akkadian Empire Agate Cylinder Seal, 2334-2154 BC

Item Details

Description

Features an Akkadian Empire cylinder seal, intricately carved from agate, with dimensions of 3x1.5 cm or approximately 1.18x0.59 inches. The seal dates from the period between 2334 and 2154 BC, a testament to the remarkable sophistication of the Akkadian period. The seal portrays a dynamic animal hunting scene, a subject that holds great significance in Akkadian art, symbolizing the power and dominion of the king over the natural world. Such seals were rolled onto clay to create a raised impression and were used to secure and identify documents and goods, serving as a mark of personal and administrative authority. The detailed craftsmanship and artistry serve as a reminder of the Akkadian Empire's profound influence on the culture and politics of the ancient Near East.
