Mounted as a 14K Gold Pendant Necklace

A fine and well-polished domed conoid stamp seal of translucent smoky grey chalcedony, a stone perforated for suspension, the flat face engraved in schematic linear intaglio with the figure of Gayomard — the primeval man of Zoroastrian belief — shown with outstretched arms and legs between two star-topped staves, his dog "Yellow Ears" below. Strung on a modern gold-tone chain for display.

The dome is vertically pierced through the apex for suspension, the original intended mode of wear on a cord around the owner's neck or wrist, and has been strung on a modern wearable 14K gold rope chain for present display.

Dimensions: Seal 7/8 × 7/8 × 13/16 in. (approx. 2.2 × 2.2 × 2.1 cm); chain length 22 in.
Condition: Intact; crisp intaglio; fine polish to the domed body; natural minor surface wear consistent with age.

Provenance:  Private collection, Newark, Delaware, acquired prior to 1981 which satisfies the pre-1970/1983 UNESCO-era provenance threshold preferred by major auction houses for ancient Near Eastern seals.
