Abstract
The founder of The Horniman Museum, Frederick John Horniman (1835–1906), was engaged in the tea trade and in this capacity he travelled throughout many countries of the world. He was a great collector of objects relating to the study of man and his environment and among the Museum's famous collections of ethnographica from all parts of the world there is also a small number of Mesopotamian cylinder seals. Nothing is known about the provenance of these 13 seals. They are illustrated on Plates XI and XII.
