Ancient Akkadian Period Brown Steatite Cylinder Seal, 2334-2154 BC

Item Details

Description

This Akkadian period cylinder seal, sized 3.5 cm in height and 1.5 cm in diameter, is expertly carved from brown steatite. The impression revealed in pink clay shows a dynamic scene with figures that could represent deities or mythological beings engaged in what appears to be a ritualistic dance or combat, common themes in Akkadian iconography. Such seals were not merely artistic objects but served a practical purpose in securing containers and doors, and the imagery inscribed upon them often held significant meaning, possibly conveying the owner's authority or invoking divine protection. This seal is a remarkable artifact, providing insight into the religious practices and artistic sophistication of one of the ancient world's most influential civilizations.
