| Description | CBS Register: seal cylinder, white marble. Archaic. PBS XIV: antelopes crouched in an enclosure, near a gate, or light wood construction, with straight shafts and cross bars, characteristic of such scenes. They oppose to the wild hunting scenes, the ideas of enclosure, residence, house of the sheperd and tame cattle. two dots in the field may represent leaves--or a milk pail. Partly worked with the burr. Cyl. seal. grey marble 31 x 24 mm. Gezer, Palestine, 1912 (?) ["Preserved with others in a box with this note attached: 'Found at Gezer, Palestine, 1912, Lambs. Jerusalem, October 27, 1913, H. Clark.' This origin seems very doubtful."] |
