Central Asian Compartmented Seal Pendant with Bovine
23rd-20th century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £208
A bronze compartmented stamp seal in the form of a stylised bovine, suspension loop to reverse; accompanied by a typed and signed scholarly note by W.G. Lambert, the late Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: '...This is a compartmented seal, not openwork, with a stout suspension loop on the back. The shape is that of a bovine with short curly tail, heavy body, thick neck and only a very slight hump. For practical reasons there are only the shortest of horns, where, as with the feet, the ridge around the edges of the seal is not continued. This comes from west central Asia, and dates to c.2300-2000 B.C. It is a very rare piece of great merit.' 22 grams, 52 mm
