Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: K-6) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 45 x 44 x 16 mm. This has the shape of a seven-pointed star with flat face and back, on which is mounted a loop handle. The face is compartmented but not open-work. The points of the star are each a rough pear shape, which leaves a smaller seven-pointed star in the middle. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is in very good condition.'; T-465) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 32 x 26 x 14 mm. This is oblong, with handle of inverted V-shape on the back. The design is both compartmented and open-work. It consists of grid of six rough squares in two rows of three, but originally it had three rows, not two. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. The two-third remaining are slightly bent, but otherwise are in very good condition.'; T-461) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 41 x 41 x 12 mm. This has the shape of a rosette, with flat face, compartmented, and flat back, on which is mounted a handle of inverted U-shape. The design consists of a pair of concentric circles and eight petals around them. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is in very good condition and has been cleaned.'; T-159) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 40 x 28 x 14 mm. The design of this seal is a pattern of two crossing straight bands joined at the closer ends by a single line. The design is both compartmented and open-work, with a handle of inverted V-shape on the back. This seal comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. There some pressed earth adhering to the surface, which could be removed, but the metal is in very good condition and the seal is a nice example of its type.'; V-366) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 39 x 27 x 15 mm. 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 is linear and consists of two pairs of diagonal strokes which cross in the middle, the ends of which are held by two parallel strokes. This seal comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is encrusted, but could be cleaned and the metal appears to be in good condition.'; C-6) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 43 x 42 x 15 mm. This is round, compartmented, and with a solid back. The handle is a loop of strip metal attached to the back. The design shows a circle, not quite in the centre, and nine lines radiating from it to the outer rim. This seal comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. There is some incrustation on the surface, but the metal is in very good condition.'; R-500) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 38 x 38 x 15 mm. This is round, with flat face and flat back, on which is mounted a handle of inverted V-shape. The design is both compartmented and open-work. It consists of a central circle and an outer band, which are joined with four plant-like motifs and between them four simple strokes. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is covered with incrustation, which could be removed. The metal underneath appears to be in good condition.'; T-490) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 34 x 34 x 12 mm.This has a very roughly oval shape with an indentation at one point. It is of open-work construction with a handle of inverted V-shape on the back. The design is a pattern of shapes formed by mostly straight lines. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is a known type of design, but strange as now preserved. It is possible that the indentation results from loss of part of the outer rim. The metal is in good condition and the piece has been cleaned.' 190 grams total, 26-43mm (1 - 1 1/2").
