Cylinder seals acted as personal signatures and administrative tools, rolled across wet clay on tablets and jar stoppers to identify the owner or authority and make transactions legally binding. In addition, they served as protective amulets and status symbols, being drilled and worn on cords or pinned to garments, with their imagery and materials believed to confer protection and prestige.
Although inspired by ancient cylinder seals from Mesopotamia, the carvings on these modern-day seals were taken from the decorated margins around on the pages of medieval illuminated manuscripts held at the Getty Museum. If you look closely, you will discover tiny strawberry plants with flowers, caterpillars, butterflies and birds. Bright spring green tourmalines sit atop the seals, and the post and clip back makes for supremely comfortable wearing. An intriguing and unusual earring for the earring connoisseur.
One-of-a-kind.
