“…However, a few interesting examples coming from the broad Ancient Near East and Central Asia region can be mentioned. The first is a cylinder seal of presumed Harappan provenance from the De Clerq collection (Corbiau, 1936, p. 100), the iconography of which could also be partially related to the BMAC imaginary (Olijdam, 2008, p. 276). Regarding the style of this piece, however, one should also note the ruffed necks, that some of the quadrupeds have, which, together with the characteristic centrally drilled single eye of all portrayed species, clearly refers to the Dilmunite iconography (Crawford, 2001; Kjaerum, 1980).…”

Ongoing excavations at Tell Abraq (Emirate of Umm al‐Quwain, U.A.E.) are revealing new aspects of this multiperiod site, which was occupied from c. 2500 BC to 300 AD. Together with substantial architecture dated to the 2nd and 1st millennia BC, relevant assemblages of archaeological materials are being collected and dated to different phases of the site’s life. Among this material, exceptional is the discovery of two jars bearing the impression of two different cylinder seals, which will be presented here. Seal impressions on any media are extremely rare in the whole of south‐eastern Arabia and strongly indicate a foreign provenance for the jars. Their iconographic study, the fabric and morphological parallels for the jars, and probable chronology will be discussed, as this can highlight transmarine connections during the late 2nd‐first half of the 1st millennium BC, as well as provide new data to address chronological issues in south‐eastern Iran itself.
