The shape of this seal is that of the design. it is with flat face and flat back, on which is mounted a handle of inverted V-shape. The design consists of two pairs of joined crescents tête-bêche, with an oval with pointed tips between, supported by struts at each end. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It has been cleaned and is in very good condition save for the usual denting of the outer rims.'; (R-202) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 66 x 64 x 20mm. This is round, with flat face and flat back, on which is mounted a handle of oblong shape, pierced at its base. The design is both compartmented and open-work. It consists of a kind of swastika, but with curving not angular arms, supported by struts within an outer band which has a scalloped edge. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is in good condition and has an interesting design. This swastika in this form was a religious symbol in this part of the world, also in Indus civilization of the Harappan type.'; (R-893) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 67 x 67 x 19mm. This is round, with scalloped edges, flat face and flat back on which is mounted a handle, pierced, of roughly oblong shape.

This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is a large and imposing seal. There is earth and incrustation on the surface, which could be removed.
