Impressing a mark on a transaction text, a letter or a legal act is a form of signature many civilizations share, brought to perfection by Mesopotamia, and the Levant and Iran along with it. The cylinder seals used for this purpose are our main source of images of the Ancient East. The study of these miniature bas-reliefs in connection with the birth and spread of cuneiform writing is one of the main branches of archaeology.
