Description

4th-1st millennium BC. A group of ten stamp seals including two apanied by typed and signed scholarly notes issued by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham 1970-1993, which state: (U-382) 'Stamp Seal of Black Stone, 13 x 18 x 10mm. This has a flat oblong face, and the back in the form of an animal with body like a beetle, legs tucked under like those of a quadruped, and heavy very small with eyes marked by holes. The design, put within a linear frame, consists of two figures, on standing one apparently sitting, both handling unidentified items. This is a rare type of seal, both for the design and for the back, and is difficult to date and place precisely. However, a date c. 500-200 B.C. and a location between Egypt and Anatolia is the most likely.'; (T-936) 'Stamp Seal of Reddish Stone, 17 x 19 x 4mm. This is square with flat faces and notched edges, pierced through two opposite corners, However, it is to be seen standing on one corner. The one side shows a heraldic eagle, with head at the top, wings spread, and tails feathers down. The other side has a spiralling pattern. Thises from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. The piece is worn and the pierced corners are broken, but the designs remain clear.'; the restprising: one bifacial rectangular bead with notched lozenge design to one side and quadruped to the other; one bifacial bead with twisted bands forming a cross to one side and three entwined bands to the other; an oval seal with grazing quadruped; an oval plano-convex seal with crossed lines design; a square-based seal with raised pierced reverse, drilled design of two rectangles, one within the other; triangular section seal with design to all three sides, one with raised palm flanked by two snakes, one with crouching feline, possibly a lion, with outstretched jaw, and one with crouching feline; one rectangular bead with profile bt to one side; one ivory stamp formed as a deep ridged cross with additional arm to each corner, pierced to one arm, lower side broken. 60.6 grams total, 16-28mm (3/4-1 1/4"). Acquired in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Signo collection, property of a West London binessman. Collection numbers 2923, R-582, T-260, T-936, V-382, W-676, Y-996, Z-44, Z-66, Z-82, academically researched and catalogued by the late Professor Lambert in the early 1990s.
