This article discusses the presence and significance of cylinder seals in the Oman Peninsula, particularly focusing on seven newly discovered seals from Kalba, Tell Abraq, and Mleiha in the Sharjah Emirate, UAE.
The article highlights the limited use of cylinder seals in the region compared to stamp seals, despite regular trade contacts with Mesopotamia and Iran. The iconography of the newly discovered seals is analyzed, revealing influences from both Mesopotamian and local traditions.
The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of these seals in understanding the religious beliefs and practices, as well as the artistic and cultural exchange in the Oman Peninsula during the Iron Age.
