14th-17th century AD. A mixed bronze group comprising: a belt fastener formed as a regardant duck with two lugs to the underside; six discoid stamp seals each with geometric motif and pierced lug to the reverse including five accompanied by typed and signed notes by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which state: (Q-1) 'Bronze Disk, 37 x 37 x 10mm. This is a round flat disc with loop attached to the back of bronze strip. The face has a beaded edge within which is a stylized human face with 13 leaf-like motifs around it and between each pair of 'eaves' is a smaller similar motif. This is reported to have come from west central Asia, which is entirely plausible, and it is most likely to be dated to c. 1400-1700 A.D. The object no doubt served as a button on some special garment, perhaps a uniform. It is a rare item.'; (Q-32) 'Bronze Disk, 32 x 33 x 9mm. This is a flat disc with a beaded edge on the back of which a loop of a short strip of metal is attached. The design on the face is based on four scrolling lines, two of which are placed symmetrically and have ends which join and then split into two portions. This came from west central Asia and mostly likely dates to c. 1400-1700 A.D. It most probably was a button for a formal garment. It is in good condition.'; (Q-33) 'Bronze Disk, 32.5 x 32 x 5.5mm. This is a round disk with a strengthened edge, and with a loop on the back made from a short strip of metal. The design on the face consists of a simple cross with each end forming a scrolling line. There is a dot in the middle of each scroll, and near the outer edges there is a group of four dots (once three) between each pair of scrolls. This came from west central Asia and most probably dates to c. 1400-1700 A.D. It is in good state of preservation save that the loop is broken. The object was most likely a button for a formal garment.'; (Q-34) 'Bronze Disk, 29 x 29 x 6mm. This is a round disc with a strengthened edge, on the back of which is a loop made from a small strip of metal. The design on the face consists of four whirligigs, a cross in the centre, and groups of two or four dots filling spaces at the edges. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 1400-1700 A.D. It is a button for a formal garment of some sort, and is in very good condition.' 93 grams total, 26-47mm (1 - 1 3/4").
