This is round, with flat face and flat back on which is mounted a handle of inverted U-shape. the face has a design created by four rough crescent shaped-lines, which create a central cross with narrowing arms. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is covered with incrustation, which could be removed.

The face has a flat rim, but the design is done on a concave surface. it shows an eagle in heraldic pose: head sideways at the top, wings spread on both sides, and tail feathers spread at the bottom, and talons indicated between the bottom of the wings and the tail feathers. Each side above the wings a snake is put. This is a seal from west central Asia, c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is a rare and fine design, achieved with casting and hand tooling. The metal has been conserved and is in very good condition.'; one with various shaped lines, stem handle with suspension hoop to the end, now fragmented; one with central flower pattern and semi-circles to the edge, rectangular handle to the reverse. 225 grams total, 42-55mm (1 3/4-2 1/4").
