‘Extremely rare, beautiful’ First Temple-era ‘genie’ seal discovered in Jerusalem

A rare First Temple period stone seal featuring paleo-Hebrew script and an image of a protective demon has been discovered in Jerusalem.

Found in the Davidson Archaeological Garden near the Temple Mount, the seal is about 2,700 years old and bears the inscription “LeYeho’ezer ben Hosh’ayahu” in mirror writing.

The seal, which likely belonged to a senior official in the Kingdom of Judah, depicts a winged figure with Assyrian influences, a unique find in Israeli archaeology.

The image was initially created as an amulet, with the inscription added later by Yeho’ezer, the son of the original owner Hosh’ayahu, the Times of Israel has reported.
