Abstract
The report contains an analysis of Old Babylonian cylinder seal designs (ca. 2000-1800 B. C.), from the town of Sippar on the Euphrates, north of Babylon. The seal designs are mostly known from the impressions of cylinder seals, which were rolled on clay tablets, probably by the scribe after he had recorded a business deal, such as a sale of property. Generally, the seller's seal appears on the tablet, which also bears seal impressions of witnesses to the deal. The seals were usually applied on the clay envelope of a tablet, on which the text of the tablet inside was repeated. Two styles were distinguished among the seal impressions of Sippar, one of which has an exceptionally rich repertory and delicate engraving.
