The 2,500-year-old seal belongs to women

According to Israeli archaeological experts, this seal is about 2,500 years old and belongs to a woman who is described as an 'exception' or has a high status in society at that time .

'It is a rare occurrence to find seals in the First Temple period and finding a seal belongs to a woman at that time is even more rare. Certainly this woman has a high social status, can participate in business and possess a certain property , 'said Israeli archaeologist.

For the first time, Israeli archaeologists found a seal of women.

Dr. Doron Ben-Ami said that these personal seals are used to sign documents and are often attached to the owner's ring."In the old days, they designed the seal to express their genealogy, character and position in society," he said.

Dr. Hagai Misgav, Hebrew University in Jerusalem, added: 'The seals belonging to women only account for a very small part of the archaeological excavations so far. That is because the economic position of ancient women is very different from that of now. In addition, the name Elihana on this seal does not appear in the Bible and there is no information about this woman, but the fact that possession of the seal shows that this person has a very high status in society.
