Cylinder with cord and bead handles; accompanied by a copy of an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Description of Cylinder Seal of soft, black stone, 29 x 18 mm. A scene is contained within upper and lower rules and a ladder pattern repeated at left and right. The main figure is a standing deity holding up items in each raised hand. he wears a pointed cap and might be meant as Hadad/Teshub/Baal, the storm god, but the symbols held are not sufficiently clear to be certain. In front of him is a small figure of human form, and three horned quadrupeds; behind him is a bird, a fish(?) and a scorpion. Vacant spaces are filled with dots, and linear devices. The seal is a typical "Levantine" cylinder c. 1200-1000 B.C. from Syria or Anatolia. it is cut with a hand-held pointed graving tool and the drill. Though worn, the design is completely clear.'; supplied with a museum-quality impression. 9.72 grams, 28 mm
