| The price, stone type, longest millimeter size, and inventory number for each of the ancient intaglio ring seals in this group of nine [100.57(AK), 100.8(J, I, L, Z, AC, AD, AE) and 95.412HD] are all shown on the individual seal’s own photo. The seven Sassanian seals (c.300-600AD) and one Parthian seal (c.200BC-200AD) were all found in Western Afghanistan during the Russian occupation. The ancient Roman jasper (c.200AD) seal was found in the Ephesos area and is from a European collection. The single Islamic seal (c.1000AD) is from Afghanistan. Each of the seals is in very good condition and can be easily set in a contemporary silver or gold ring mount. The tiny seals represent truly amazing examples of the ancient gem cutter’s skill. Stone types in this group include onyx and carnelian. Prices range from $95 to $125. As an ancient miniature art form illustrating zoomorphic and anthropomorphic themes (and Islamic script), the seals range in size from 8mm to 15mm. If an item has been sold, it will be so-noted on its photo. A purchase comes with a small display card, a map of Afghanistan highlighting the general area in which the seals were found, and a certificate guaranteeing authenticity. Please refer to any seal of interest by first the Trocadero Number and then the Inventory Number shown on the photo for the seal.
