31st-30th century BC. A bronze cylinder seal, drilled vertically for suspension; accompanied by a museum-quality impression and an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'The design consists of a frieze of four walking horned animals, one squeezed in a space hardly sufficient for it. There is a big cross above the back of one of these animals. This comes from Syria and dates to c. 3000 BC. It is in extremely good condition for ancient bronze.' 32.7 grams, 23mm (1"). The Signo collection, the property of a West London businessman, formed in the late 1980s-early 1990s; item number R-128; academically researched and catalogued by the late Professor Lambert in the early 1990s; accompanied by an original typed and signed scholarly note by Professor Wilfrid George Lambert.
