The seals of Uruk are the first example historians have found of the value of the reputation of individuals in a community. Each seal was designed to say something about the person it belonged to, and, using the seal, a person could be recognized as a unique individual. Those doing business could have a written record of a person’s previous dealings and know the value of his word. Just like an ancient seal would have been used to personalize a clay tablet, now you can design a seal to represent you as an individual and personalize modern stationary with it to share with your friends and family.
