Mainly 1st millennium BC. A mixed group of four cylinder seals, two limestone, one jasper, and one composition; two accompanied by a museum-quality impression and typed and signed scholarly note issued by W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: (1) 'Cylinder Seal of faience 27 x 10 mm. The design, which is put between upper and lower rulings, shows a standing archer in long robe aiming at a standing horned animal before him. This is plant(?) [sic] between archer and animal, and a crescent in the sky. This comes from Mesopotamia or Syria and dates to c. 800-400 B.C. For a faience seal it is in good condition. It has lost its original glaze.' (2) 'Cylinder Seal of Dark-coloured Stone 25 x 13.5 mm. In the centre is a stylized sacred tree with winged solar [sic] above it, and to each side is a rearing winged quadruped. A lunar crescent above a star forms a terminal. This is a Neo-Assyrian seal, c. 800-600 B.C., from Assyria or the areas to the west. It is a well engraved design, but the surface is corroded where the animals stand.' 18 grams total, 18-27mm (3/4 - 1").
