Capture a timeless piece of history with this exquisite Mesopotamian white hard stone stamp seal, a testament to the artistry and symbolism of ancient Mesopotamia. This rectangular seal features a framed winged creature on one side, with finely etched wings and a gracefully curving tail. On the reverse, a quadruped, possibly a horse or zebra, is depicted in dynamic pose. Crafted with meticulous detail, the unique glyphic variations suggest cultural representations of distinct families or individuals. The seal is pierced longitudinally for suspension, combining functionality with elegance. As a prime example of Mesopotamian seals used as personal insignias, talismans, or symbols of authority, this artifact embodies the ingenuity of a civilization that shaped human history.

This stunning piece, carved from white hard stone and dating to circa 700 BC, originates from the culturally rich region of Iraq. It is a rare collectible and a true conversation starter, offering a tangible connection to the ancient world.
