Late 3rd-early 2nd millennium BC. A mixed group of bronze seals including two accompanied by typed and signed notes by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which state: 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 56 x 52 x 29mm. This bears the shape of the design, with flat face and flat back, on which is mounted a handle of inverted V-shape. The design consists of a central Greek cross. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is covered with heavy incrustation, which could be removed. The outer tips are a little worn down, otherwise it is in fair condition.'; (W-141) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 37 x 39 x 9mm. This is roughly round, with flat face and flat back, on which is mounted a handle of grooved strip metal. The design on the face shows a recumbent lioness above a scorpion. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It has a rare design and is in good condition: the metal is sound.'; one discoid with zoomorphic design, possibly a bird, notched ridges and handle to the reverse; one formed as an heraldic eagle, tail absent, handle to the reverse; and one discoid with design of four quadrupeds in a circle, stem handle with suspension hoop to the reverse; 77 grams total, 40-56mm (1 1/2-2 1/4").
