This is a flat oval hemispheroid, pierced lengthways, The design is a pattern of straight cuts, not clearly depicting anything. Thises from Iran or west central Asia and dates to c. 4000-3400 B.C. The ends of the hole are very worn, but the design is well preserved.'; (R-434) 'Stamp Seal of Dark-Green Stone, 15 x 13 x 14mm. This has a flat oval face and a similar flat back. The sides rise sharply and flare inwards to a point about two-thirds up, where the seal is pierced, after which they flare out a little to the top. The design shows a seated figure with long plaits of hair holding up an object in one hand. Behind the figure is another unidentified item. This is a rare type of seal and so difficult to place. However, dating is less difficult, c. 1500-500 B.C., and more likely later in this period. It maye from some region between Anatolia and Eastern Iran. It is in very good condition.'; (T-702) 'Stamp Seal of Black/Green Stone, 22 x 22 x 13mm. This is round, with flat face and flat back, in the centre of which is a pierced handle. The design on the face is drilled: four gro of four dots in the form of a simple cross. Thises from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. There is some damage to the edge, otherwise it is in good state of preservation.'; (V-750) 'Loom Weight of Cream Stone, 30 x 31 x 9mm. This is a round disc with rounded edges and a hole in the middle. Each side bears a design. one side shows a ring of three horned animals around the hole and dots as fillers. The other side shows a single horned animal above the hole, and a bird with three plumes below the hole, and again filling dots. Thises from west central Asia but belongs to a category of object which has so far not been studied. it might date at any time between 1000 B.C. and 500 A.D. It is an interesting piece and in fair condition.
