Description

9th-7th century BC. A black jasper cylinder seal with integral suspension loop; accompanied by a museum-quality impression and a typed and signed scholarly note issued by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Stamp/cylinder seal of dark-brown stone. The cylinder of this piece has a roughly flat base and sides which curve inwards very slightly to the top, where a pierced lug with grooves over its top served for carrying the seal on a string or wire. The design around the sides shows a bull or other such horned animal being attacked by two lions: one from behind clawing its rump, while the one in front is rearing on its hind legs while its front paws are splayed. Three rosettes appear as fillers within the design. On the base a recumbent ibex is shown, with a script symbol above its back. A linear pattern runs along the top of the sides. This seal comes from ancient Urartu, a kingdom based on Lake Van, c. 800-650 B.C. It is a nice example of the art of this kingdom, and is in very good condition.' 10.4 grams, 31mm (1 1/4"). From the Empire collection, an important UK private collection of seals, acquired between 1980-1983; accompanied by a copy of a typed and signed scholarly note, by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993.
