Description | Modern forgery of a Sassanian stamp seal. Perhaps made on an original black antique seal. Made by a well-known forger in Shiraz who has been producing those for the past thirty years. Drilled design of archer riding a bull. Archer figure incorrect for true Sassanian style. (E. Porada) |
