A unique seal of the 9th century BC, made of semiprecious opal. The seal is believed to have belonged to Queen Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab of Israel (who ruled the Kingdom of Israel from 873 to 852 BC). Queen Jezebel is a biblical character mentioned many times in the Bible (Old Testament, III Kings, IV Kings). In different parts of the seal, there are, among other things, 4 Paliate Hebrew (Phoenician) letters that spell out the Hebrew name Jezebel. It should be noted that the first letter of the name, which, according to the biblical version of the spelling of this name, is missing. Perhaps this letter was in the upper, imprinted part of the seal. The seal is in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
