Later 3rd-mid 2nd millennium BC. A bronze discoid stamp seal with chevron handle; accompanied by an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Stamp Seal of Bronze 55 x 55 x 20 mm. This is a round disc, with flat compartmented face and flat back on which is mounted a handle of wide inverted V-shape. The design shows a seated figure in the centre with one arm raised, surrounded by myriad shapes which are difficult to interpret. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-1500 B.C. It is extremely rare and large. The condition is generally good. The incrustation could be removed and the few spots of disease cured.' 76 grams, 55mm (2 1/4"). The Signo collection, the property of a West London businessman, formed in the late 1980s-early 1990s; collection number V-952; academically researched and catalogued by the late Professor Lambert in the early 1990s.
