This has a round, flat compartmented face, and slightly convex back, in the middle of which is a stalk handle ending in a pierced suspension loop. The design, achieved with raised lines, shows either a star with five rays or a kind of rosette with five petals. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2100-1800 B.C. There is some corrosion and incrustation, which could be removed. The condition is generally fair.'; (U-246) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 20 x 18 x 20 x 22.5mm. This bears the shape of the design, with flat compartmented face and convex back with stalk handle in the centre ending in a pierced loop. The design consists of a triangle in the middle and to each side is joined a section which turns to one side and ends in a point. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2100-1800 B.C. It is worn and one tip in missing, but the metal appears to be in good condition.'; (T-851) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 19 x 15 x 25mm. This bears the shape of the design, with flat compartmented face, flat back, and stalk handle ending in a round loop. The design consists of three compartments, one with a spike in it, not clearly depicting anything, but apparently abstract. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2200-1800 B.C.

It is a good example of its kind, and in very good condition save that the rim is damaged at one spot.'; (B-17) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 19 x 17 x 22mm. This is round, and the solid back rises in a stalk handle a break, and a second hole made beneath it. The design on the flat face was achieved with raised lines and a dot in the middle. The main item is a stylized standing horned quadruped, with three crescent shapes around it. This comes from the Bronze Age of west central Asia, probably to be dated c. 2000-1500 B.C. Save for the broken loop it is in very good condition.'; (B-10) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 13 x 13 x 25mm. The flat face is compartmented, and a tall stalk handle rises from the back to a pierced globe top. The design is made of a crescent-shaped line, with another line beginning at the edge and facing the middle of the crescent.

This is round, with a flat back, solid, with a big loop handle attached. The flat face shows a design composed of four v-shapes with their points close to the centre, and each V-shape filled with a triangle or other shape.
