Nice Early Dynastic white marble cylinder seal.
With identification note from the late Prof. W G Lambert
In the upper register a banquet scene with one of the seated figures drinking beer through a reed straw.
This way of drinking beer  went out of fashion after the decline of the Sumerian culture in the 2nd millennium BC
28mm x 11mm
Though Prof Lambert suggests Early Dynastic III or even Akkadian  to my eyes this is a very typical linear style Early Dynastic II seal.
Circa 2300 BC
From my own collection



Price: 0.00 GBP
