Near East, Ancient region of Mesopotamia (possibly some of the seals can be associated with Summerian culture), 4000 BC-2000 BC or later. The lot consists of twenty-nine stamp seals in a shape of faceted cylinder as well as five oval and flat stamp seals. Made from various stones including basalt, agate, calcedony, cornelian. Stones in beautiful hues of violet, white, blue, orange and brown. Characters and figurative scenes are engraved and most of the impressions are still very crisp. Some of the seals are especially interesting: one of them shows a warrior who is going to sacrifice the horned animal, on other fourteen pieces the depiction of a king who worships a god repeats.
