Pre-Flood and time of Noah and Enoch and the Nephilim. Measures 15 by 16 by 17mm, carved of unknown stone. From my own collection purchased from a New York Antiquities dealer in 1991. Excellent original and undamaged condition. Museum quality. Seals were used to mark clay documents and tablets to show ownership. Since theft was rampant before the flood seals were used as a primitive way of showing ownership, or if a door was opened, etc This seal represents one of the earliest viable and obtainable objects accessible. These are now extremely difficult to come by. This seal was used for impressions only as opposed to the popular cylinder seals which were rolled. Also has a hole to hang on a piece of metal or string. Excessively rare, yet still affordable.
