During the second half of the 3rd millennium BC Sumerian tablets frequently refer to regular trade with "Meluhha, " the flourishing cities of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa. Under the impetus of trade the Indus boat traders began to copy Akkadian-style cylinder seals. The seal depicts the stark image of a bearded sun god with raised weapon attacking a fierce horned beast. Although dependent on Akkadian glyptic design, the dueling figures reflect their own distinct Indus style. SEAL #4 "PEGASUS"Sumerian 2100 BC. Three quarter inch (18mm)Stone cylinder seal from Iran, dated to the 3rd Millennium BC. An example of a distinctive group of ancient middle-eastern cylinder seals excavated along the ancient trade route through south western Iran. Following the fall of the Akkadian Empire in the 21st century BC a renaissance of Sumerian culture saw the reappearance of small stone cylinder seals with designs that hail back to First Dynasty prototypes and seminal mythic images.
