Description

Selves Engraved on Stone offers the first comprehensive examination of cylinder seals as instruments of identity formation in the ancient Near East from approximately 1415 to 1050 BCE. This scholarly work explores how these distinctive stone-carved objects functioned beyond mere administrative tools, investigating the intricate relationship between seal imagery, material properties, and the construction of social identity. The book analyses how different but often overlapping aspects of identity-including religious affiliation, gender roles, community belonging, and professional status-were deliberately constructed and communicated through the material, visual, and textual characteristics of seals. Part of the Culture and History of the Ancient Near East series (volume 129), this academic text provides essential insights into how ancient Mesopotamian and Near Eastern societies used seal technology to express and negotiate personal and collective identities across millennia of cultural development.
