A Near Eastern Steatite Cylinder Seal with Horse Motif, Early 2nd Millennium BC

Item Details

Description

This cylinder seal, crafted from steatite in the early 2nd millennium BC, features a dynamic procession of horses, a motif that signifies status and power in Near Eastern cultures. The horses are rendered with a deftness that captures their movement and elegance, traits highly regarded in ancient societies. Seals like this were used to mark ownership and authenticate documents, with each impression in clay being a unique work of art. The use of steatite, valued for its smooth surface and durability, allowed for the creation of intricate designs that have endured through the millennia.

Length: 2.5 cm (0.98 inches)
Width: 1.5 cm (0.59 inches)

Provenance:
Private collection, Copenhagen, acquired at a Danish estate sale in the 1960s.

Keywords:
Cylinder Seal, Steatite, Early 2nd Millennium BC, Near Eastern, Horse Motif, Ancient Symbolism, Status, Power, Ownership, Authenticity, Ancient Art, Clay Impressions, Intricate Design, Cultural History, Archaeology, Collectible, Mesopotamia, Antiquity, Engraved Stone, Seal Collection.
