Istanbul Archaeology Museums, TurkeySeal with a snake-like, superman design. One
of the most frequently encountered motif on the hematite and faience
seals of the Mitannian Period is the stylized date palm. The motifs such
as winged sun disc, adoration scenes, antithetical or sitting back to
back bulls and goats inside scenes were also much loved. Kassite
seals with inscription, on which there is only one god in a sitting
position, continue the tradition of the Old Babylonian Period. In
the Neo-Assyrian and the Neo-Babylonian Period seal manufacturing shows
parallel development. On the seals, manufactured with linear drill
method, besides themes of ploughing and sieging a city, scenes of
adoration, sacrifice, hunting are seen. The most loved motifs are the
sacred three and the winged sun disc.
