Bronze Signet Ring with Birds and Palm Tree

Bronze signet ring with a circular bezel featuring three birds beneath a palm tree. The birds are rendered with hatched lines indicating feathers, standing in a row beneath the tree's radiating fronds. The palm tree motif, with its central trunk and symmetrically spreading leaves, was a symbol of fertility and abundance throughout the ancient Near East. The ring band shows incised chevron decoration on the shoulders. Such rings served as personal seals, pressed into clay or wax to authenticate documents and mark property.
