Abstract
The leading parts of this story are played by two very similar Old Babylonian seals from Sippar, both owned by merchants and reused by their respective sons. The analysis of the three main elements of the seals, i.e. the iconography, use and legends yields results that are as unexpected as they are illuminating. As for the iconography, an explanation for the striking resemblance of the seal scenes is offered. Further, the double occurrence of reuse and the complicated matter of seal and title transmission are addressed, in the context of the professional group of merchants.
