Ca. 2300-2000 BC.This is roughly round with a solid back and part of the pierced handle. The handle was made from a piece of metal rod, the end of which was flattened and pierced, but this thin tip is now broken off. The design consists of a small central circle from which six 'spokes' radiate to the edge, and between them are six U-shapes, with their two ends resting on the edge. The edge is serrated. Save for the broken handle it is generally in good condition. Accompanied by a signed scholarly note by Professor Wilfrid George Lambert.Size: L:13mm / W:13.5mm ; 11.74gProvenance: Property of a London gallery; formerly with a Mayfair Art dealer S.A.; ex. 1990s London collections, studied and catalogued by professor Lambert in the early 90s (with original note, signed by him).
