For thousands of years, since before recorded history, man has worn amulets and talismans for luck and protection. The stones, feathers, teeth and claws that adorned early cultures eventually gave way to an array of amulets whose powers where as varied as their forms. This splendid little token represents the head of a bull, a creature symbolic of strength, power, and virility, the favorite animal of many male gods. The reddish hue of the stone suggests it may have supplied its wearer with courage and protection in battle. Carved with abstract simplicity, it makes a timeless appeal to the senses. - (PF.1937)Mesopotamian Stone Amulet of a Bull's Head - PF.1937Origin: Northern Syria Circa:3000BCto2000BCDimensions:0.5" (1.3cm) high x 0.625" (1.6cm) wide x 0.75" (1.9cm) depth Collection: Near Eastern Style: Mesopotamian Medium: Stone

Occasionally, a charm or amulet that has enormous power and magic for one culture will have only aesthetic value for another. Where the Egyptians attached great importance to the scarab, the Greeks might have been seen only a species of desert beetle. Yet, every culture makes use of such talismans for protection and to bring good luck. This unusual charm was carved by one of the early peoples of the Upper Euphrates Valley. It is unclear what it depicts, perhaps a bird, maybe a sea creature. What magic it was thought to bring is also unknown, though surely it has remained potent across the centuries. - (PF.1951)Mesopotamian Stone Amulet of a Bird - PF.1951

Occasionally, a charm or amulet that has enormous power and magic for one culture may have little meaning for another. Where the Egyptians attached great importance to the scarab, the Greeks might have seen only a species of desert beetle. Yet, every culture makes use of such talismans for protection and to bring good fortune. This unusual charm was carved by one of the early peoples of the Upper Euphrates Valley. It appears to depict some sort of animal, though exactly which one is unclear. Its abstract shape makes a strong appeal to modern sensiblities, while its ancient magic is no doubt still strong and powerful as ever. - (PF.1952)Mesopotamian Stone Amulet - PF.1952Origin: Northern Syria Circa: 3000 BC to 2000 BCDimensions: 0.75" (1.9cm) high x 1" (2.5cm) wide x 0.5" (1.3cm) depth Collection: Near Eastern Style: Mesopotamian Medium: Stone « Less

Throughout history, the spindle whorl has been a symbol of domesticity and femininity, a metaphor for woman's contribution to society. The spindle whorl is used to weight the wool as it is being spun into thread, and examples have been found in every part of the world. Spinning was considered a worthy activity even for women of noble birth. This early stone spindle whorl, created in the Euphrates Valley, is engraved with elaborate cuneiform writing. Quite possibly it is a prayer to the gods for a happy and healthy life. Such invocations are eternal, which the passage of time cannot alter. - (PF.1953)Mesopotamian Spindle Whorl with Cuneiform Inscriptions - PF.1953Origin: Northern Syria Circa: 3000 BC to 2000 BCDimensions: .5" (1.3cm) high x 1.125" (2.9cm) wide Collection: Near Eastern Style: Mesootamian Medium: Stone « Less
