description Examples of Middle Bronze Age cylinder seals, categorized today as "Old Syrian popular style" have been documented since the mid-nineteenth century, albeit usually without any dating or provenance information. This particular subset of the vast array of ancient Near Eastern glyptic has recently been studied by the author and an acquisition history identified for many of them. Here the disparate paths that brought some of these seals into museums and private collections are explored to demonstrate, not only the vagaries of where these eminently portable objects end up, but to highlight the importance for modern scholarship of documenting such histories. تم منذ منتصف القرن التاسع عشر توثيق امثلة عن أختام اسطوانية من التاريخ البرونزي المتوسط مبوبة اليوم تحت عنوان ”الطراز الشعبي السوري القديمـ“، ولو أن ذلك قد تم من دون تأريخ أو معلومات تثبت المصادر. تمت دراسة هذه المجموعة الفرعية من مجموعة عظيمة من المنحوتات الفنية من الشرق الأدنى من قبل الكاتبة وتم تحديد تاريخ استملاك الكثير منها. تتحرى هذه المقالة الطرق المتنوعة التي جاءت بواسطتها هذه الأختام الى المتاحف والمجموعات الخاصة وتشرح ليس فقط التقلبات التي أدت بهذه الأشياء السهلة النقل الى الوصول الى حيث هي الآن، بل تشير الى أهمية قيام بعثات حديثة بتوثيق تواريخ كهذه.
