Write a short note on seals of mesopotamia please answer the question???

Answer» 1. In Mesopotamia until the end of the first millennium BCE, cylindrical stone seals, pierced down the centre, were fitted with a stick and rolled over wet clay so that a continuous picture was created.2. They were carved by very skilled craftsmen, and sometimes carry writing : the name of the owner, his god, his official position, etc.3. A seal could be rolled on clay covering the the string\xa0knot of a cloth package or the mouth of a pot keeping the contents safe. When rolled on a letter written on a clay tablet, it became a mark of authenticity. So the seal was the mark of a city dweller\'s role in public life.
