The Seal – An Urban Artefact

In India, early stone seals were stamped. In Mesopotamia until the end of the first millennium BCE,

cylindrical stone seals, pierced down the centre, were fitted with a stick and rolled over wet clay so that

a continuous picture was created. They were carved by very skilled craftsmen and sometimes carry

writing; the name of the owner, his god, his official position etc. A seal could be rolled on clay covering

the string knot of a cloth package or the mouth of a pot, keeping the contents safe. When rolled on a

letter written on a clay tablet, it became a mark of authenticity. So the seal was the mark of a city

dweller’s role in public life.
