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.
