Seal with Hebrew Inscription. 10th-11th century. Excavated in Iran, Nishapur. The Hebrew text on this seal gives the name of the seal’s owner, his father’s name, and the word "prepared" or "fashioned," followed by the letters y-h-. One proposal is that this is the Arabic name Yahya, but there are other known Hebrew seals that end with the phrase "May Yahweh have mercy" or "The work of Yahweh," which may be the phrase included here. Carnelian; incised. H. 1/16 in. (0.1 cm); W. 1/2 in. (1.2 cm); D: 1/16 in. (0.2 cm). Rogers Fund, 1940 (40.170.158)
