| Abstract | ||
| Introduction Cylinder seals are among the most important artifacts for studying the art of Mesopotamian civilization. They offer researchers and specialists a clear understanding of their themes, symbolic meanings, and the progression of artistic styles depicted in their scenes over different historical periods.This study focuses on five unpublished cylinder seals, three of which date back to the Jamdat Nasr period (3000-2900 BC), a fourth seal from the Early Dynastic II period (2800-2600 BC), and the fifth and final seal from the beginning of the Akkadian period (2370-2154 BC).The study provides a technical description and analysis of the contents of these seals, as well as a comparison, with tables, photos, and drawings to support it.
