Bullae of Hezekiah

The Hezekiah Bulla is a royal clay seal impression discovered during archaeological excavations in the Ophel area of Jerusalem, near the Temple Mount. Dating to the late 8th century before the common count, it bears a Paleo-Hebrew inscription reading "Belonging to Hezekiah, son of Ahaz, King of Judah."

The seal also features a winged sun disk and Egyptian-style symbols, reflecting artistic influences in ancient Judah. King Hezekiah is prominently mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in connection with his religious reforms and resistance to the Assyrian invasion of −701.

The discovery provides direct archaeological evidence of Hezekiah's royal administration and the historical existence of this biblical king.
