Opening Bid: £5
Bifacial stamp seal, accompanied by an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Bifacial Stamp Seal of Green Stone, 18.5 x 8mm. The one side shows a spiralling device with notched curving arms. The other side shows an eight-pointed star with filling motifs between the arms. The seal is pierced at the widest point. This comes from west-central Asia and dates to c. 2500-2000 B.C. The side with the spiral was original with the seal, but the design on the other side may be a little later, perhaps c. 2000-1000 B.C. Similar designs to the spiral have been found on seals coming from the southeast Karakum desert.' 4.78 grams, 18 mm
