Seals and Sealing in the Ancient World from Part IV - Aegean
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 April 2018
This chapter compares the iconography of a two-sided Middle Minoan seal recently discovered in a tholos tomb and a two-sided seal kept at a museum’s collection and probably dated to the Archaic period. The images engraved on one side of each of the pieces are so similar that they suggest that the engraver of the Archaic (?) seal was copying a Minoan seal with iconography similar to that of the Middle Minoan piece. Further features, such as the shape of the Archaic (?) seal as well as the iconography on its other side, also point to the influence of Minoan prototypes.
