Small stone cylinder engraved in intaglio on its surface to leave impressions when rolled on wet clay. It first appeared 3400-2900 BC and is considered to be one of the finest artistic achievements of Mesopotamia.

They were used to mark personal property and make documents legally binding. The seals were adopted in Egypt and the Indus civilization
