Near Eastern artefacts and biblical archeology
The fact that the Near East is the cradle of our civilization makes artefacts from this region especially fascinating. Cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia, idols from Anatolia and Syria and pottery from the Holy Land and Jerusalem, are only a few examples. The extensive written records from the last five thousand years, as well as the elaborate scenes of ancient cylinder seals and stamp seals give us a fascinating insight into cultural and religious aspects of biblical times. Explore the fascinating specimen from the beginnings of civilization available in our shop and don’t miss the opportunity to feel a relic from our cultural cradle in your own hands! We would be pleased to work with you on your personal collection and assist choosing special pieces you would like to add.
