One of the largest tablet or brick seals, we've ever offered. Bifacial tablet seals can normally be dated to around the 3rd. millenium BC. This is so delicately carved that it could be made somewhat later, weøre not certain.
The black serpentine seal depicts a large Bee filling the whole of the seal, and on the other side Scorpion. Particularly the Bee is masterfully engraved so that even tiny details and textures of the bee can be seen. Absolutely stunning.
