Context (Found together / assemblage)
A collection of similar modern casts of cylinder seals were found together (2018.101-104), all of which have been matched to their original seal in MAA's collection except 2018.101.1-2. This seal may yet be identified as within the museum's collection. It is not clear when these seals were made, but they may have been used for research or teaching purposes.
