Sold on behalf of the foundation at Sotheby's, 12 June 1997, lot 10 (illustrated there); to the current owner;3. Schøyen Collection, London and Oslo, their MS 2411/3. Text:Before the invention of cuneiform, the civilisations of Mesopotamia used pictograms: signs representing goods, animals, places, jobs, numbers and administrative processes, rather than an actual alphabet. The depiction of the shapes of many of these 'proto-cuneiform' signs, necessarily stylised through the use of a wedge-shaped reed impressed into clay, subsequently evolved into cuneiform proper. As such they are perhaps the earliest dawn of palaeography, and the beginning of our survey here. Such rectangular or square stamp seals were the forerunner of cylinder seals, and were most probably used to mark ownership of goods through the impressing of their symbols onto clay containers.
