Despite ongoing interest in Middle Assyrian glyptic art, the
publications of Middle Assyrian seals and seal impressions from
excavated sites in the Near East are very rare. The book is the
first to offer a comprehensive study on the seal corpus from an
archaeological site historically located in the western territory
of the Middle Assyrian state. The seal impressions and few original
seals, which were found during the excavations in Tell Fekheriye
(Syria), substantially add to our understanding of the iconographic
repertory and the use of seals in the Middle Assyrian period. The
corpus dates to the reigns of the Assyrian kings Shalmaneser I and
Tukulti-Ninurta I in the 13th century B.C. It documents practices
of governance and administration in the growing Middle Assyrian
Empire, points to activities of high-ranking Assyrian officials and
unfolds the pictorial reality of political and ideological
intensions. While finding detailed information on unpublished
materials, their archaeological contexts and interpretations, the
reader is also invited to follow a discourse on art, state and
society for which the Middle Assyrian seal motifs from Tell
Fekheriye provide an excellent case study.
