Lyre-Player Group
circa 28x25mmx19mm. | weight 11,90 gram
reddish brown limestone
Pierced along the entire length, to be able to wear on a cord
stamp image: standing person (Kinnaru) with Lyre, behind a standing bird,
in front a v-shaped object with protruding antennae, which symbolizes
the sacred tree
This seal type belongs to the so-called Lyre-Player Group seals. These are related to the Divine Kinnaru, originally an Ugaritic god from the Mesopotamia / Near East region, who functioned as the deification of a string instrument, most likely the lyre. It is sometimes assumed that a mythical king of Cyprus mentioned in the Iliad, Kinyras, was derived from him. This god was widely worshiped in Mesopotamia, eastern Anatolia, Syria and the Levant, and is depicted on seals such as this one.
Such seals have been found in Cilicia, which can be dated to the 8th century BC and should be connected with the traditions allying Kynyras to Cilicia. Such a geographical association should be surprising neither for Kinyras himself, not the seals′ imagery, given the influence of several factors: the existence of Kinnaru of Ugarit and probably other regional Syrian cognates the Syro-Hurrian adstrate in Cilicia/Kizzuwatna the persistence of Hittite royal ideology in Neo-Hettite states and Phoenician influence in Cilicia. The Lyre-Player Group was first identified by Christian Blinkenberg in 1931, who described 14 specimens from Lindos (Rhodos) and another 31 images from various collections he rather acutely detected a blend of Cypriot and ′late Hittite′ elements, and made several observations still generally accepted the seals were the product of a single workshop operating over a limited period in the eighth century BC. Because initially most specimens were found on Rhodes, it was assumed that they were produced there. Later, however, more specimens were found in Cilicia, so that production is now suspected in the area Cilicia/Northern-Syria, what used to be the neo-Hittite principality of Que (or Hiyawa/Adanawa).
