Mesopotamian Cylinder Seal, c. 800-400 BCE. These seals were used to make in impression in wet clay on a document or package, as an equivalent to the modern-day signature. Ancient Mesopotamian people from all walks of life would have worn their seal around their neck, ready to use at a moment's notice.
