Ancient Jemdet Nasr Period Chlorite Steatite Double Convex Stamp, 3100-2900 BC

Item Details

Description

This fascinating artifact is a chlorite steatite double convex stamp from the Jemdet Nasr Period, dating back to 3100-2900 BC. The stamp's dimensions are 3.5 cm by 3 cm by 1 cm, approximately 1.38 inches by 1.18 inches by 0.39 inches. On one side, the stamp features a centipede-like creature with many legs, a motif that is unusual and not commonly found in the iconography of the period. The opposite side presents lions, which are more typical for the era, often symbolizing power and dominance. The inclusion of both motifs on this stamp suggests it may have held a significant purpose, perhaps related to myth or protection. This dual-imaged stamp offers a unique glimpse into the symbolic language that permeated ancient Mesopotamian society. The craftsmanship, materials, and imagery make this a rare and valuable item for any collection of ancient Near Eastern artifacts.
