Summary:Amongst the hundreds of seal impressions which were found in recent years at Tell el- Dabca only a handful were made by Near Eastern cylinder seals. One of these impressions was found in a heavily burnt storage room from the pre- Hyksos palace of area F/II. It belongs to the so called “Green Jasper Workshop” and carries a hieroglyphic inscription. Text and depictions hint strongly at a connection of its owner to the religious and political sphere of the city of Byblos.
