Download for 3D Printing

This 3D reconstruction depicts the ancient seal and bulla of Abdi, servant of King Hoshea, the last ruler of the Israelite Kingdom of Samaria (circa 750–740 BCE). The seal is featuring a robed male figure in profile, holding a papyrus scepter. Below the figure, a detailed winged sun disk motif is included, echoing the Egyptian artistic influence typical of high-status Hebrew officials.

The paleo-Hebrew inscription is modeled with care: “לַעְבְּדִי עֶבֶד הוֹשֵׁעַ” (“Belonging to Abdi, servant of Hoshea”). The set includes a reconstruction of the seal impression (bulla) as it would appear in ancient clay, showing crisp details for both display and educational use.

Historically, Hoshea is mentioned in the Bible as the last king of Israel before the Assyrian conquest (2 Kings 17:1-6), making this seal a rare archaeological link to biblical history.

Ideal for use in historical visualization, documentary content, museum virtual displays, and biblical archaeology projects.
