Late 3rd-early 2nd millennium BC. A group of five discoid bronze seals comprising: one a seated figure(?) surrounded by irregular shapes, inverted U-shape handle to reverse; one with rosette formed of six petals within a tightly scalloped border; and three accompanied by typed and signed notes by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which state: (T-199) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 50 x 50.5 x 18mm. This is round, with flat face and flat back on which is mounted a handle of inverted V-shape. The design, which is both compartmented and open-work consists of a central Greek cross with a crescent resting on each outer edge of this cross, while eight curving lines base on the outer plain band support or intervene between the crescents. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. There is incrustation on the surface, which could be removed. The metal is in fair condition, and save for a little damage to the outer rim the piece is in good condition.'; (R-746) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 43 x 41 x 34mm. This is roughly round with six indentations in the outer edge. The face is flat and compartmented, the back is convex and from it a stalk handle with pierced oval top rises. The design consists of a central small circle from around which six curving extensions spread out like a whirligig. They may be meant as snakes' heads. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2100-1800 B.C. It is a rare seal for its design and save for damage to two of the heads it is in good condition.'; (P-55) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 45 x 45 x 18mm. This is round with flat face and flat back, on which a handle of inverted V-shape is mounted. The design is both compartmented and open-work. It consists of a outerband with scalloped edge and within it a heraldic eagle: head sideways at the top, wings spread, and tails feathers down. The seal comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It has been conserved, and is in very good condition. It is a fine example of its type.' 250 grams total, 4354mm (1 3/4-2").
