Stamp seals are small, engraved gemstones that were popular as decorative pieces and personal seals. Intaglios were typically made of semi-precious stones, such as carnelian, agate, and jasper, and were often used to seal letters and documents with the owner's personal emblem.
This oval-shaped Sassanian garnet intaglio features a figure with a staff.
