一枚萨珊王朝红玉髓装饰椭圆形印章 约公元300-500年 呈椭球形,中央设有大型悬挂孔;穹顶状外侧雕刻有凹陷的圆形纹饰;平坦的椭圆形印面采用凹雕技法,刻有一头向右站立的驼背公牛(泽布牛),并附有简短的帕拉维文铭文。 参见《大英博物馆西亚印章目录:印章》(1969年),EM 5-6。 附有印模。 尺寸:印面1.72厘米×1.30厘米;总长2.20厘米 总重量:4.82克 该印章品相极佳,保存状况令人十分满意。虽有预期中的适度老化痕迹,但器物结构稳定,无结构性破损。 来源 源自肯特郡某私人住宅的藏品 萨珊王朝自公元224年阿尔达希尔一世推翻帕提亚最后一位国王起,统治伊朗及近东大部分地区,直至七世纪中叶被阿拉伯人征服。 印章在萨珊社会的各个阶层中均有使用:用于认证文件、封存容器、保障货物安全,以及标明持有者的身份和地位。从行政遗址中出土的数千枚粘土印泥,充分证明了印章的广泛应用;此外,许多印章还被作为个人饰品佩戴,并被视为护身符而备受珍视。 大多数萨珊王朝的印章都是用红玉髓、玉髓、玛瑙、碧玉和岩晶等硬石雕刻而成,主要有两种形式:椭圆形,沿长度方向穿孔,并在平坦的椭圆形面上雕刻图案;以及穹顶形,底部为较小的平底。 印章图案题材丰富多样。动物图案占主导地位:驼背的泽布牛、狮子、与胜利之神维雷特拉格纳(Verethragna)相关的野猪、岩羚羊、瞪羚、马以及各种鸟类。 某些场景,例如狮子扑向公牛的画面,延续了自阿契美尼德时期以来在伊朗流传的艺术意象。此外,还有肖像半身像、神话和宗教人物(如琐罗亚斯德教传统中的第一人盖亚马德),以及作为个人徽章的抽象图案。 许多印章上都刻有中波斯文(帕赫莱维文)的简短铭文,标明所有者的姓名或表达虔诚的愿望。
