Early 1st millennium BC. A chert cylinder seal with a group of three naked men with capride-like heads, armed with each two bars, walk one after the other to the left; the first holds a bar in each hand up, the second down, the third with his right hand one up, with his left one down the other; between the legs of each one a globe; this scene could represent a ball game as a cultic ritual or a signal transmission by means of bars and balls. Accompanied by a museum-quality impression. 9.80 grams, 25mm (1"). From a private collection of seals and amulets, the property of a Canadian gentleman living in London; from his father's collection formed in the late 1960s to 1980s.
