based on where it was found...I'd say not! and it's known to ruin 21st century political careers!

nope, nearly every great man of note had, wore, or owned one...and was usually buried with it.

imho it could be; or also used on clay tablets. Lepers, paupers and slaves didn't have one. It was literally: "the mark of the man"... ie: a royal seal. HINT: less than fortnight ago, I referenced the man's immortal deeds and associates in another thread.
