Seals and their histories

Seals are one of the original innovations that distinguished the Mesopotamian civilization from other civilizations of the ancient world, and these seals were at first a small piece of roughly rectangular stone slotted on one of its sides with straight, intersecting lines, and such a type was discovered in the second layer at the site. The archaeologist is from Tell Hassouna in northern Iraq, which dates back to 5400 BC. This type of seals are called flat seals, which are usually in the form of tablets that resemble buttons, and these seals are sometimes called Buton seals.

With the passage of time, they were called flat seals that were distinguished from others, and the Sumerian sculptor began to master in carving types of stone with various engravings, including engineering and some related to the daily life they used to live in. Until the era of Warka.

But with the advancement of life and the passage of time, the Sumerian artist found that this type of seals did not satisfy the purpose as it flew to repeat the imprint on the surface of the mouth of the jar and its necks. Therefore, in the era of Warka, he invented a method that is considered ideal and practical to indicate the ownership of the person to whom the stored materials belong, and the new innovation was a A cylindrical chamber with a perforated center in the middle, longitudinally perforated, on the surface of which the sculptor carved religious and secular subjects, and the cylindrical seal became more suitable than the flat seal common at the time. The results of the excavations are that the earliest clay figures that have reached us are those sealed with cylinder seals that date back to about the fourth millennium BC in the era of Warka.

These were the first uses of cylinder seals, which is a feature of great importance at the level of civilization, and it is a pure civilized innovation specific to Iraq. Despite the use of seals in a number of other countries such as Egypt during the third millennium BC, Syria, Palestine, Anatolia and India, flat seals prevail in In these countries, however, the cylindrical seal continued to be used in Mesopotamia, which was invented by the Sumerians during the fourth millennium BC. Its use remained from the Warka era to the first century A.D. (i.e. approximately 4000 years) and this is a great evidence that the countries neighboring Iraq and even distant ones have taken the manufacture of seals. The cylinder during the commercial, political or cultural relations in the era of empires, and this is indicated by the archaeological discoveries in those countries near and far, as scholars have found many seals dating back to different periods of Mesopotamian history.

In addition to being used for the purpose of trade, contracts and other valuable materials, the cylindrical seal itself was used as an indicative mark or a tool that identifies the ownership of the person who owns the seal, and it is worth noting that any seal, whether flat or cylindrical, is not acceptable to have a second copy at all because it is like the signature of the owner. It is possible because the sculptor carves, at the request of the owner, one of the discussed topics inspired by the daily life of the community, whether it is religious rituals, celebrations, worldly scenes, accidents or important myths that belong to that community in that period or period that precedes it, and it has become inherited for the generations that follow, but the difference lies In the name and symbol of the owner of the seal that is also engraved on the seal, so that the loss of the seal would expose the owner of the seal to real problems if it was a duty for the merchant or owner of the seal to take legal measures for that, which would only be by referring to the judicial authority, as a Sumerian text was found highlighting The method of dealing with this situation, which occurs in late periods in our societies, as a caller calls for the use of a machine to attract attention to report the loss of something or a government report, the text shows a caller who was walking in the show Patronize the city as he blows the horn in order to inform the people of the loss of the seal of Tarar. Listen to Arshul, as he used to say (The merchant has lost a seal bearing his name and the implementation of the decision by the Judicial Council) The caller came out blowing the horn in the streets to announce the special order that no one can claim against him (Ali Ershol merchant) in all the cities of southern Iraq or all the cities with which this merchant trades, and this indicates something that indicates the importance of this seal in legal terms as well.

What is the importance of seals and why should they be acquired ?!

The signature is not enough because it is easy to forge (as if people are the subject of constant accusation), and it must be stamped with a stamp proving the validity of the signatures and content, and (but no one discusses the possibility of forging the seal itself), and this is the case, the references live the journey of searching and moving between offices and departments to obtain explanations and signatures, then Stamp it, until he comes with a sheet that has been filled with names, signatures and seals not only on the original but also with pictures.

After this, the papers become official and intact, not because of the signatures or annotations, but because of the presence of the stamp that adorns the paper or papers. Although the seal ends its mission to prove the authenticity of the paper and the focus shifts to the content, the main gate to the content is the master al-khatm. With the passage of time, the seal itself became so lustrous that some people put themselves a stamp containing their name, in which they made their own papers or fingerprinted them on their possessions such as books, pamphlets, pamphlets and other public papers that are distributed here and there; As if the seal was turning it into his property. Who knows, thanks to the passage of time and the obsolescence of time, they have become precious documents, including the seal.

And because the seal has gained such great importance in our society, unlike many countries in the world that do not deal with it in this extreme, it is expected that behind the matter is a secret saved by this seal, and the following lines will try to guess that. There is a possibility that the stamp performs a legal task, which is to fill any systemic loophole that may be caused by an employee, so that the entity becomes responsible instead of the individual; Another possibility is that the (predominantly) blue-violet colored stamp serves as a beautiful decor that adds a “joyful” touch to the somber paper.
