Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Seal, museum number 9-5235, described as Cylinder seal: long stratified limestone, triple register showing bull, ram, dog, gazelle, eagle. Babylonian. [Handwritten on card by Yoko Tomabechi: calcite. At lower area caprid followed by a bovine; dog (?) above the bovine's back; a rapacious bird above the canine. To left between bird and canine, a grazing bovine. The silhoutted flat animal form suggests that this piece originated in a peripheral region. Prehistoric (archaic) period, provincial provenance, most probably southern Iran. Style similar to that found on cylinder seals of the archaic period from Susa. References: Jequier, G. "Cachets et cylindres archaiques" Memoires de la delegation archeologique en Iran, vol. 8, Paris, 1905, pl. 1. figure 20 - for stylization of bull's heads and horns (small bulls in fig. 20); figure 16 for stylization of canine's tail]
