A doctoral thesis at the College of Fine Arts, University of Basra, examined the structural structural functions of the Sumerian cylinder seals.
The thesis discussed the questions posed by the ancient march of art, its reality and its broad and saturated horizons, most notably the question about the possibility of subjecting art products to criteria of evaluation, analysis and interpretation, as well as to factors of time and place and the impact of the environment on the characteristics of art and its connection to society. The thesis aims to reveal the functions of the structural structure in the Sumerian cylinder seals for considerations of inventory and deep detection of the absent structures and the variation of the characteristics of the cylinder seals
The thesis concluded the use of abstract forms that reveal the inner and deep truth in the psyche of man and that fit his intellectual, esoteric and ideological themes.
