Description
Modern impression of an Akkadian period shell cylinder seal featuring scenes with a woman on a bed with bull’s legs, a scorpion and vessels as well as Stags divided by date palms.
A cylinder seal is a small round cylinder, typically about one inch (2 to 3 cm) in length, engraved with written characters or figurative scenes or both, used in ancient times to roll an impression onto a two-dimensional surface, generally wet clay.
