Originating around 7600 BC, the engraved cylinder seals—measuring merely 0.8 to 1.2 inches (2 to 3 cm) in width—were vital in the emergence of early civilizations. Employed in regions like Mesopotamia and Susa, these seals were rolled over damp clay to produce distinct impressions, functioning as signatures, narrative tools, and identifiers. Certain historians suggest that they played a role in the evolution of cuneiform writing, among the earliest forms of written communication. Despite their diminutive dimensions, these artifacts significantly contributed to the groundwork of documented history.
