There is slight denting and damage only.'; (T-693) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 23 x 28.5 x 21 mm.

The design shows a stylized face of an ibex, seen from the front. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2200-1800 B.C. It is an attractive piece for its somewhat abstract design, and in good condition. The incrustation on it could be removed.'; (T-675) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 23 x 24 x 12 mm. This is roughly square, with flat face and flat back, on which a handle of inverted U-shape is mounted. The design, which is compartmented and partly open-work, consists of four Greek crosses, two of the arms of which touch the arms of the adjacent cross, and the remaining space is divided into small squares. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It has an unusual and interesting design, and is in good condition save that the corners are damaged.'; (T-4) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 24 x 25 x 22 mm. This has the shape of what is depicted. The face is flat and compartmented. The back is also flat, with a stalk handle with large suspension loop on the top. The design has a central circle and variously-shaped compartments.This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2100-1700 B.C. There are some lacks around the edges, but what remains is in good condition.'; (V-946) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 26 x 40 x 6.5 mm. This bears the shape of the thing depicted, with flat, compartmented face, and back thicker in the middle, with smoothed edges, on which are remains of a suspension loop. The design shows a standing quadruped with humped back and projections from the head. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is a rare piece, in fair condition, the ears or horns being damaged.'; (U-165) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 30 x 29 x 11 mm. This is a round disc, with handle of inverted U-shape mounted on the back. The design on the face consists of a rosette with four petals and a dot in each petal and in the centre, with filling V-strokes in pairs between the petals. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. There is incrustation on the surface, which could be removed, but it is generally in good condition.'; (P-13) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 38 x 37 x 16 mm. This bears the shape of a five-pointed star, the points being compartmented. The face is flat, as is the back, on which is mounted a handle in the shape of an inverted U. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. The seal is in very good condition and is a fine example of its kind.'; (U-395) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 23 x 23 x 22 mm. This bears the shape of the design with flat compartmented face and flat back on which is mounted a stalk handle ending in a circular suspension loop. The design consists of a simple cross, each arm of which ends in a spiral. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2100-1800 B.C. It is in good condition, though the handle is worn down.' 136 grams total, 23-38mm (1 - 1 1/2").
