Circa 900-750 B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £520
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: 'Cylinder Seal of Carnelian 19 x 8.5 mm, The scene shows two winged quadrupeds in a frieze. Each has the body of a bull, but with wings. Each is running and the front part of the body is reared up, overlapping the one in front. It is meant as a scene of one animal chasing the other. The seal is engraved mainly with the cutting wheel, but there are dots along the animals' bodies and at other points down with the drill. The seal is convex in shape, like a bead. This is a seal in the Neo-Babylonian style, c. 900-750 B.C., though examples have been found both in Babylonia and in south-west Iran. It is in very good condition and is an attractive piece.'; supplied with a museum-quality impression. 3.18 grams, 19 mm
