Ancient Sasanian Rock Crystal Intaglio Stamp Seal, 3rd-7th Century

Item Details

Description

This Sasanian-era stamp seal, measuring 2.5 cm by 2.5 cm by 0.5 cm, or about 0.98 inches by 0.98 inches by 0.20 inches, is carved from rock crystal. The intaglio technique used to create the depiction of a man's face is a testament to the Sasanian artistry, allowing the seal to create a raised impression when pressed into soft clay or wax. This seal offers a direct connection to the administrative practices and personal aesthetics of one of the most influential empires of the ancient world.
