Les sceaux de timbre étaient utilisés de la même manière que les chevalières modernes : un objet négatif utilisé pour imprimer un dessin dans un autre matériau, souvent de l'argile. Ils sont courants depuis environ 7 000 avant notre ère et sont restés utilisés de manière continue dans certaines parties du monde jusqu’à nos jours.
