Anatolian Black Stone Cylinder Seal with Standing Figure
Circa 1000-800 B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £312
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 soft black stone, 29 x 12 mm. A standing human-looking figure with short kilt and mane of hair (or helmet with mane) holds a spear in one hand, a stone(?) in the other. He is facing a horned quadruped with raised tail, and between them there is a tree and smaller, distinct quadruped. There are two linear devices on the base-line, and a rule above encloses the engraving. This is a rare type of seal, probably from Syria or Anatolia, and c. 1000-800 B.C. The plume is the most significant point, but knowledge is not yet so far advanced that this seal can be confidently attributed to a particular culture. As such, it is extremely interesting. The condition is fine.'; supplied with a museum-quality impression. 7.65 grams, 23 mm
