Description
This unique Sasanian seal, crafted from lapis lazuli, is dome-shaped and measures 2 by 2 cm or roughly 0.79 by 0.79 inches. It features the engraving of an ibex, a creature often depicted in Sasanian art, which may represent nobility or the hunt. The deep blue hue of lapis lazuli, punctuated by natural pyrite inclusions, makes this seal a small but visually striking artifact. It is not only a significant testament to the artistic expression of the era but also a piece that would have been highly valued in its time due to the prestige associated with lapis lazuli.
