The Harappan seal is possibly the most distinctive artefact of the Harappan or Indus valley civilisation. Made of a stone called steatite, seals like this one often contain animal motifs and signs from a script that remains undeciphered.

Answer:

The study of seals is known as sigillography.

Explanation:

The impression seal is a type of seal that leaves an impression, usually in clay and less frequently in sealing wax. They were common in antiquity, owing to their use in authenticating legal documents such as tax receipts, contracts, wills, and decrees. They are popular study subjects because they were usually carved with important "themes" of the society that produced them, rather than a simple signature.

The cylinder seal and the stamp seal are the two most common types. There are numerous cylinder seals with religious or mythological themes, one of which depicts Darius I. Stamp seals include the LMLK seals from Lachish (circa 700 BC) and Tell Halaf seals.

Other, less common, species include Egyptian, Levantine, and Canaanite scaraboid seals, as well as the metal stamp seal .
