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 White/Cream Stone, 15 x 9.5 mm. Seated figure in flounced dress faces a standing figure in flounced dress with right hand raised in greeting and left hand gripping wrist of similarly dressed figure behind.
