Public Domain
  • Production um 3300-3100 v.Chr.
Das Siegel ist in Form eines gelagerten Stieres gestaltet. Die Siegelfläche zeigt vier Hunde oder Wölfe. Zur Befestigung an einer Schnur ist das Siegel waagerecht durchbohrt.
Siegel wurden zur Beglaubigung von Urkunden entwickelt. Anfangs sind dies nur kleine Stempel mit Ritzverzierungen, später entstehen Skulpturen und zylinderförmige Rollsiegel.
