3rd-1st millennium BC. A mixed group of four stone cylinder sealsprising two jasper, and two limestone; two apanied by a meum-quality impression and typed and signed scholarly note issued by W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: (1) 'Cylinder Seal of Bitumino Stone 24 x 11 mm. The design shows a rearing horned animal before a highly stylised sacred tree. This seales from west Iran and dates to c. 1100-900 B.C. It has an interesting design, but it is very worn and the top is missing.' (2) 'Cylinder Seal of Whitish Stone 13 x 10 mm. The design, which is deeply cut, shows two items. The one appears to be a lion with open jaws, the other is uncertain: perhaps a quadruped. This is a rare type of seal, and difficult to classify for certain. There are feint tracnes [sic] of glaze on the surface. Most probably this is from Syria or Anatolia and dates to the first half of the third millennium B.C., c. 3000-2500 B.C. This seal is in fine condition.' 17 grams total, 13-36mm (1/2 - 1 1/2"). Acquired in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Signo collection, property of a West London binessman. Item number 1520, T-139, W-522, V-512; academically researched and catalogued by the late Professor Lambert in the early 1990s. Apanied by one original and one copy of typed and signed scholarly notes by Professor Wilfrid George Lambert. [4]
