EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Sumerian shell cylinder seal, dating back to circa 2500-2334 B. C. The intricate engraving is divided into two registers, with the upper register depicting two seated figures holding cups, an attendant in between them, and another figure behind the one on the right. Two stars adorn the field above them. In the lower register, a similar scene unfolds with a plant on the left side and a star in the field. Both registers are elegantly framed by plain and hatched bands. The seal offers us a glimpse into early dynastic III period of Sumerian civilization, which flourished in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) during ancient times. Its artistic craftsmanship reflects both skillful carving techniques and attention to detail. As we admire this piece of antiquity from Africa's Sudan region through Bridgeman Images' lens, it reminds us of Arab civilization's rich heritage in this part of the world. This artifact serves as a testament to their cultural legacy that has influenced countless generations. Let this image transport you back thousands of years ago when such seals were used for various purposes - perhaps as personal signatures or symbols representing power and authority within Sumerian society. It stands as a remarkable representation of wildlife artistry intertwined with historical significance from Middle Eastern civilizations like no other.
