The function of Sumerian seals was primarily to serve as a personalized signature. These small, cylindrical or dome-shaped objects were typically made of stone or clay, and were engraved with unique designs or inscriptions that identified the owner. Seals were used to mark or authenticate various documents, goods, or containers, establishing ownership or authorship. They played a crucial role in administrative, legal, and economic transactions in ancient Sumer. While they were not used as a common trade currency or measure of weight, they did have cultural and religious significance, as they were sometimes associated with a city-state's gods or goddesses.
