| description | Signet rings constitute a class of materials whose study lies at the intersection of ancient jewelry and glyptic.

Signet rings may constitute a case study in their fundamental importance for a more complete picture of the trade networks, people and material movements and interconnections between peoples, cultures, and societies in the world of the Southern Levant within the context of the Eastern Mediterranean basin.
