Overview
An authentic ancient Near Eastern bronze signet seal dating to the Late Bronze Age, produced within the Canaanite cultural sphere of the Holy Land. The oval seal face bears a stylized divine or symbolic motif consistent with storm-god iconography associated with Haddad (Hadad), a major deity connected with power, fertility, rain, and protection.

Bronze signet seals of this type were used to impress images into clay for administrative, personal, or devotional purposes. Such objects functioned as personal identifiers and amuletic symbols, often carried or worn by their owner and closely tied to religious belief and authority.

Authenticity Check
The bronze alloy, corrosion structure, surface patina, and engraving style are consistent with Late Bronze Age Near Eastern metal seals. Wear to the seal face reflects genuine ancient use. No modern tooling, casting marks, or artificial patination observed.

Comparable Examples
Comparable Canaanite bronze signet seals with storm-god and animal symbolism are documented in major Levantine glyptic assemblages, including material held in national and university museum collections.
