Carnelian Intaglio seal

Islamic Dynasties – Qajar – Pahlavi Dynasty – early 1900s

Persian

Size is about 15 mm.

This Persian Carnelian intaglio seal from the early 1900s, between the late Qajar and early Pahlavi dynasties, shows the lasting tradition of engraved gemstones in Islamic art. Made from reddish-orange carnelian, a stone valued for its protective qualities, it features detailed calligraphy—possibly a Quranic verse, a name, or a talisman. Used to stamp documents or worn as an amulet, the seal reflects both personal use and the artistic style of a changing era.
