Item Details

Description

Ancient Near East, Achaemenid Persian Empire, ca. 550 to 330 BCE. A dark stone seal with carved twin ibexes, seated on grass in the shade of a leafy fern- or palm-like plant.

The ibex is commonly featured, presumably drawn from life but also representing some royal qualities. Size: 1.1" L x 0.75" W (2.8 cm x 1.9 cm)
