Abstract

Very few cylinder seals are reported from South-East Arabia. This paper reports on two cylinder seals that were found as heirlooms at Mleiha, UAE. The first is a Neo-Assyrian seal with a ritual scene: kneeling worshippers around a tree of life. The second is a seal of local manufacture. The positioning of its image, a human figure holding an Arabian horned viper, is turned 90°, questioning whether it was ever used as a seal or rather worn as an amulet or bead. Local seal production and seal use are discussed. Seals from the Iron Age II suggest that the object is of local production, as does the iconography that can be linked to Iron Age snake cults in South-East Arabia. Comparable snake representations are, however, occasionally still found in the Mleiha/PIR period.

Mleiha(阿联酋沙迦酋长国)的传家宝气缸密封件
据报道,很少有汽缸密封来自阿拉伯东南部。本文报道了在阿联酋Mleiha发现的两个作为传家宝的圆柱封。第一个是一个新亚述印章,上面有一个仪式场景:跪在生命树周围的崇拜者。第二种是当地制造的印章。雕像的位置是一个拿着阿拉伯角毒蛇的人,它被旋转了90度,质疑它是否曾经被用作印章,或者更确切地说是作为护身符或头饰。讨论了当地的密封生产和使用情况。铁器时代II的印章表明该物品是当地生产的,就像可以与阿拉伯东南部铁器时代的蛇崇拜联系起来的图像一样。然而,在Mleiha/PIR时期,偶尔仍然可以发现类似的蛇的表现。
