Antik Pamphylia bölgesinin önemli kentlerinden biri olan Perge’nin Batı Nekropolisi’nde yapılan kazı çalışmalarında sayısız tipte mezarlar in situ buluntularıyla birlikte açığa çıkarılmıştır. Makale, geç Hellenistik-erken Roma dönemine tarihlenen bir lahit içinde bulunmuş bir mührü konu almaktadır. Mühür, sekizgen gövdeli, yukarı doğru daralan formda olup, hafif dışbükey tabanında tanrısal semboller önünde sunu yapan, uzun giyimli ve sakallı bir rahip betimine sahiptir. Benzerleri Yeni Babil Dönemi’ne tarihlenen bu buluntu, Perge’nin Roma öncesi dönemlerine ait sınırlı sayıdaki buluntulardan biridir
