Serpopard Cylinder Seal - 3D Replica 3D print model

This intricately detailed 3D model replicates a Serpopard cylinder seal from the ancient Uruk period, measuring approximately 2–3 cm in diameter. The original cylindrical artifact features intaglio carvings of two serpopards—mythical creatures combining feline bodies with serpentine necks entwined in elegant spirals—encircling its surface. A central hole through the seal allows for suspension by cord.

When rolled in clay, the recessed design produces a continuous raised frieze of serpopards, epitomizing classic Uruk style. This iconic motif also appears on the famous Egyptian Narmer Palette, linking Mesopotamian and Egyptian ceremonial imagery.

Additionally, the set includes a Serpopard clay stamp model—a flat stamp measuring 10–15 mm across its face, with a raised serpopard motif, often depicted with collars and leads on a rectangular or circular base with an ergonomic handle. The positive relief areas of 1–2 mm depth enable clear impressions in leather-hard clay.
