| Abstract | ||
| The people of the Anatolian country knew the time of the Hittite Kingdom (1680-1207 BC). The manufacture of seals and their use in their daily lives. The study of the models of the Hittite seals shows how they affected the seals of Mesopotamia, especially the Cylindrical ones. The seal is a piece of stone, metal or clay, which takes many forms, including flat, circular, polygonal and rectangular, where a specific object is engraved on the reverse. It is a distinctive symbol of the seal holder, proving his personality and his property as well. The samples discovered from the seals indicate that Hittites used stones and precious metals, as well as bones, as well as timber used in textile sealings, but these seals were damaged by the climate factor. The themes of the stamped seals were varied in their contents. These included royal seals that reflected the reality of political and social life in the royal court, as well as shedding light on the religious aspect as goddess scenes, and other religious scenes such as cremation, pouring sacred liquid, Which consisted of superstitious creatures (composite), as well as ceremonial scenes such as scenes of banquets and drinking sessions. | ||
