Description

Late 3rd-1st millenium BC. A mixed group of five bronze seals including 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-524) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 43 x 39 x 9.6mm. This is formed of a grid of miscellaneous shapes, with flat face and flat back, on which a loop handle is mounted. The design appears to be abstract, not depicting anything. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is a rare and interesting type, and the metal is in good condition, but there may be some loss of outer parts.'; (K-57) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 35 x 34 x 14mm. This is round, with notched edge, flat face and slightly convex back with central pierced loop. The face shows an engraved heraldic eagle, with head sideways at the top, wings spread, and tail feather down and spread. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is in very good condition and the metal has been conserved.'; (W-99) 'Decorated Bronze Attachment, 42 x 33m. This bears the shape of the design, showing two heads of animals such as jackals joined on to shaped items not now identifiable as depictions. On the back there is a loop for a cord of strap to pass through. This is steppe art, from west central Asia, dating to c. 600-300 B.C. It is an attractive piece and the metal is in good condition, but one end of the piece is broken off.'; the rest comprising: one discoid with various shapes, possibly representing a horned quadruped; one roughly discoid with two circles to the centre, surrounded by four pear shapes, each with a circle to the centre, handle to the reverse. 112 grams total, 34-43mm (1 1/4-1 3/4"). The Signo collection, the property of a West London businessman, formed in the late 1980s-early 1990s; collection number W-99, K-57, T-524, R-956 W-155, academically researched and catalogued by the late Professor Lambert in the early 1990s.
