Ancient Sasanian Steatite Relief Plaque Tablet, Circa 224-651 AD

Item Details

Description

An ancient Sasanian era steatite relief plaque, with an approximate diameter of 6.5 cm, or 2.56 inches. Dating from between 224 and 651 AD, this circular tablet features intricate engravings that are characteristic of the period. The front of the tablet showcases a motif common in Sasanian art, suggesting a royal or religious significance, while the back remains unadorned. The presence of two drilled holes indicates that the plaque was likely worn or hung, possibly serving as an ornament or an emblem of authority. Steatite, valued for its durability and ease of carving, was often used for seals and amulets in the Sasanian Empire. This artifact offers a tangible connection to the administrative or ceremonial practices of one of the most influential periods in Persian history.
