Documentation for Seal Collection

Documentation for Seal Collection: Sasanian Seals from the Collection of the Late Edward Gans, at UCB
by Guitty Azarpay, Professor of Near Eastern Studies,
University of California, Berkeley, etal.

Since the individual seals in the Gans Collection have no provenance, the Sasanian Seal Collection Website and Web application are presented as a single map layer with a geographic extent based on the approximate maximum extent of the Sasanian Empire and a time range for the whole empire period. The shape file was created by Jeanette Zerneke based on the extent of the empire indicated on Kettenhofen, Erich., B VI 3 - "Das Säsänidenreich The Sasanid Empire", ein Sonderforschungsbereich 19. ©Tübinger Atlas des Vorderen Orients, Dr. Ludwig Reichert, Verlag Wiesbaden, 1977-93.
