3rd millennium B.C.-17th century A.D. A mixed group of six bronze stamp seals including four apanied by typed and signed notes by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which state: (Q-39) 'Bronze Disk, 20.5 x 21 x 5mm. This is a round disk with strengthened and beaded edge, on the back of which a loop has been attached, made from a small strip of metal. On the face is a standing horned animal with a cross between its legs, a linear motif above its back, three dots behind its legs, and a crescent above them. Thises from west central Asia and dates most probably to c. 1400-1700 A.D. It was no doubt a button for a formal garment such as a uniform. The loop is bent, but otherwise the piece is in very good condition.'; (L-90) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 26.5 x 31 x 9mm. This is an oblong plate with flat face and very slightly convex back on which is mounted a pierced handle (the hole now filled with incrustation). On the face is shown a standing humped bull and below it some motifs not now clear. This is a seal from west central Asia and dates to c. 1500-800 B.C. The surface is worn, but the seal is generally in good condition.'; (T-410) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 21.5 x 21.5 x 9.5mm. This is a square plaque, white thin, with handle of inverted V-shape on the back. The design engraved on the face shows a singleplex motif not easily interpreted to show something from the natural world. Thises from west central Asia and dates to c.2300-2000 B.C. It is nicely engraved and is in fair condition.'; (D-4) 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 22 x 23 x 12mm. This is a flat round disc of sheet metal, with a handle of the same, pierced, mounted on the back. The design shows a stag in full gallop. Thises from eastern Iran or west central Asia and dates to c. 1000-500 B.C. It is in very good condition.' 49 grams total, 15-34 mm (1/2-1 1/4 in.").
