It's at least 104 years old since he died in 1913.

Yes, pretty incredible!

When "curious" is an understatement!

Bob! Thank you for this post - I just explored it further to find clicking ahead one by one shows a whole collection of dozens of cylinder seals, tablets and an additional amazing carved eye agate. A very important collection at the Morgan Library and Museum, New York City.
