Lambert, the late Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: '...This is round, with flat face and flat back, on which there is a small loop for suspension. The design consists of a depiction within a plain outer band. It shows a sitting monkey with tail up and front paws raised, perhaps holding something.
