Description

Explore the profound connection between material objects and social identity in the ancient world. This scholarly work examines the cylinder seal, a distinctive art form that emerged in Mesopotamia around 3300 BCE and remained significant for thousands of years. Through a detailed analysis of these stone carvings, the book investigates how individuals used these objects to define themselves within their societies. As the first comprehensive study of its kind, this volume looks at how religion, gender, community, and profession shaped a person's identity. By studying the material, visual, and textual characteristics of these seals, readers gain a deep understanding of the social structures of the ancient Near East between 1415 and 1050 BCE. This text is an essential resource for those interested in the history, art, and cultural development of early civilizations.
