Description

Late 3rd-early 2nd millennium B.C. A mixed group of five bronze seals, including two apanied by a typed and signed scholarly note issued by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: (U-617) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 31 x 46 x 14.5mm. This bears the shape of the design, with flatpartmented face and flat back, on which is mounted a handle of sheet metal with ridges along the edges. The design shows a small standing animal with short legs, big eye, snout and ear falling backwards at the back of the head. There is a short tail. Thises from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It covered with incrustation, which could be removed, but is a rare design and the metal appears to be sound.'; (P-51) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 63 x 57 x 20mm. This has a flat face and back, on which is mounted a handle of inverted V-shape. The seal takes the shape of the design, and is bothpartmented and open-work. It consists of six arms each based on the centre. Two opposite arms end roughly as Latin crosses. The other four are meant to the be the same and end with a wide crossbar with two steps above it on each side reaching to the end. The seal is strengthened by struts connecting the six arms. This seales from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It has an unusual design and is in good condition, only the handle is slightly damaged.'; the restprising: one discoid withpartmented cross design and scalloped edge; one with openwork flower with seven petals within a scalloped border; and one discoid with zoomorphic creature; all with handle to the reverse. 156 grams total, 40-64 mm (1 1/2-2 1/2 in.).
