Thimble-shaped seal with engraved imagery; accompanied by an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Stamp Seal of Chalcedony 19.5 x 20 x 27 mm. This is a conoid with nearly round slightly convex face, pierced diagonally. The design shows the Achaemenid Persian king in tunic and Persian 'trousers' gripping in each hand the horn of a rearing antelope or similar animal which turns its head backwards. The king wears a crown. This is an Achaemenid Persian seal, c.500-350 B.C., from some part of the Persian empire. It is in a distinctive style, but so fare [sic] there has not been enough study to say exactly where this was made. The scene symbolises the Persian king's victories over his enemies. The seal is a little chipped, but generally in good condition'; accompanied by a museum-quality impression. 14.7 grams, 26.64 mm
