Sassanian Carnelian Zebu Sealing Stone

Sassanian Carnelian Zebu Sealing Stone

The Sassanian Empire was the last Persian empire before the they were conquered by Islamic Arabs. That was in 651 AD and from thereon graven images were forbidden, so these images pre-date 651 and could be as early as 3rd century AD.
Another excellent carving and lovely warm carnelian. Dimensions: 22mm x 11mm x 17mm
