    Old Babylonian Red Stone Cylinder Seal with Two Kneeling Worshippers
    2100-2000 B.C.

    Sold for (Inc. bp): £416

    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 Red Stone with Some Cream, 30x13mm. The scene shows two kneeling worshippers, one either side of a stylized sacred tree below a winged solar disc. The seal is cut entirely with one tool, the cutting sheel, which enabled the work to be done quickly. the seal is to be dated c.900-800 B.C. and seals of this type are generally considered to be Babylonian, though this is not completely certain: they may have been made in Syria and southern Anatolia. The hands of the worshippers are in a typically Assyrian pose: one raised, one extended, but this type of seal is not generally found at Assyrian sites. The solar disc represents the storm god. Though there is some wear on the stone, the design remains quite clear and sharp.'; accompanied by a museum-quality impression. 8.8 grams total, 8.1-29.5 mm
