Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Cylinder seal of black stone flecked with light green, 28 x 13.5 mm., condition fine. Two rows of three horned animals, all recumbent, the upper row with antlers, the lower row with horns as of mouflons, the design between upper and lower rules.
