AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

黒色の赤鉄鉱石から作られた、精密に刻まれたメソポタミア式円筒印章。彫刻はおそらく贈呈の場面を描いている。二人の人物が向かい合い、聖樹か神聖な樹のような木を思わせる stylised な木か祭壇が描かれている。右の人物は支配者または神であると考えられ、座っており、胸部に帯をあしらった華やかな衣装を身に着けている。座の近くには、後ろ脚を上げて立つイベックス(岩山羊)か子鹿のような動物がいる。対面には、より簡素な衣装を身につけた立つ人物がいる。二者は中央の層状で粒状の造形物へ手を伸ばしており、これはおそらく聖なる生命の樹を象ったものだ。印章には博物館品質の焼成印影が付属する。状態は良好で、図像と銘がはっきりと確認できる。

印章は石で作られることが多かったが、骨・象牙・ファイエンス・ガラス・金属・木材、さらには日干しまたは焼成粘土でも見つかる例がある。古代世界において印章は علام ownership の真偽を保証したため、法的取引や盗難からの財物保護において重要な役割を果たした。 stylised な動物をモチーフとする印章のお守りは、紀元前後期第四千年紀の文脈でメソポタミア全域で見つかっているが、 stamp seals と cylinder seals が古代近東で主流のタイプだった。

寸法:(おおよそ)高さ 1.8 cm × 直径 0.7 cm
