Near Eastern Seals (Interpreting the Past Series)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent introduction to Near Eastern Cylinder seals
Review: Collon's book provides an excellent overview of Near Eastern Seals. A useful chronology for both stamp and cylinder seals is provided, as well as information on materials, designs, and stone-cutting techniques. The majority of the photographs and text focus on cylinder seals, but a few stamp seals are also included.
