Opening Bid: £50
Openwork seal matrix with loop handle on the reverse, accompanied by an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 39 x 39 x 15 mm. This is round, with notched outer edge with flat face and flat back on which a handle of inverted U-shape is mounted. The design is compartmented and partly open-work, perhaps by accident. It consists of five identical linear motifs starting from the edge, curving around and crossing over themselves then curving around in matching fashion and reaching the edge. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is a rare design. There is a little damage to the edge and the centre of the design, but generally it is in good condition.' 38.5 grams, 39 mm
