An important part of the material evidences obtained from the Achaemenid period are seals and the effect of seals. The main issue in this research is to investigate the different style of execution and engraving of a number of exposed seals from the Achaemenid period; which have been categorized in various styles in the research conducted so far. In examining this different style, goals are pursued, including specifying the execution style of a number of seals obtained from the Achaemenid period, as one of the important platforms for the manifestation of folk art or the Achaemenid government system, as well as clarifying a part of the history of Social art of Achaemenians. Investigating the problem raised in this research will be done through iconography and analysis of the effect of the desired seals in their historical, political and geographical context, as well as comparing their execution and engraving techniques with examples of Elamite seal engraving and neighboring lands.
The results of this research showed that the geometric style and connected parts are the result of the seals investigated in this article, which were implemented through drilling and creating deep lines and ball-like holes, is the continuation of a style from the old Elam period, which progressed and peaked its use in the Middle Elam period. The specific administrative scope of the activity of the owners of some of these seals in the area of western Fars and eastern Elam strengthens the possibility that the seals in question belong to a style localized in Elam. In this way, the specific performance style of the seals examined in this article can be considered as the continuation of one of the ancient Elamite styles, instead of a general classification in a variety of styles, which have been performed in local workshops in Elam or by local artists hired by the owners of these seals.
