Cylinder Seal with Warriors and Attendants
6th century BCE or early 20th century (Cypro-Archaic or modern)
hematite (?)
This cylinder seal depicts four standing figures, two of whom are warriors, facing each other across a round shield. The Greek armor and general style of the composition may indicate this seal is not ancient.
