LOT 1383
West Central Asian Bronze Stamp Seal Matrix with Triskele
CIRCA 2300-2000 B.C.
2 in. (33 grams, 52 mm).
Trilobate in design with strap handle to the reverse, accompanied by typed and signed note by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Stamp Seal of Bronze, 52 x 51 x 48 x 17mm. This bears the shape of the design, with flat face and flat back, on which is mounted a handle of inverted V-shape. The design, which is compartmented, consists of three similar parts meeting in the middle. Each part consists of a supporting arm which divides into two joined rough scallops at its end. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. The edges are dented and the piece somewhat bent, but generally it is in good condition. The arms may depict something, but they are difficult to interpret. It is a rare design.'
ProvenanceEx collection of a late London gentleman, 1990s.
Accompanied by an original typed and signed scholarly note by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993.
