A near-eastern agate seal. Hybrid figure.
Sasanian, 3rd-7th century A.D.
Diam 18 mm ; depth 13 mm
With flat ovoid face and a domed body pierced through for suspension. The face depicts a fire altar form composed of a crescent, a bar with further crescents at its terminals, a standard, a second bar, also with crescents at its terminals. These symbols probably represents a specific clan or tribe.
