EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a seal inscribed in Hebrew script for a lady named Hannah, accompanied by an intricate sphinx design. Discovered at Tell ed-duwair (Lachish) in Israel, this artifact is now housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. Crafted from red jasper and plaster, this small yet significant piece measures 2.6x1.9 cm. The seal's design reflects motifs that were once popular in both Egypt and Canaan, highlighting the cultural exchange between these ancient civilizations. The Hebrew inscription adds a personal touch to the artwork, connecting it to a specific individual - Hannah. The presence of the sphinx further enhances the mystique surrounding this piece. With its human head and lion body, the sphinx symbolizes power and wisdom across various cultures throughout history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when seals held great importance as personal identifiers or symbols of authority. This particular seal provides us with valuable insights into the artistic influences and social customs of its time. Through photography and preservation efforts by institutions like Bridgeman Images and eAshmolean Museum, we can continue to appreciate these remarkable artifacts that bridge gaps between different civilizations while honoring their historical significance.
