Item Details

Description

2200-2100 BC. A limestone cylinder seal with figural frieze; accompanied by a museum-quality impression and typed and signed scholarly note issued by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: 'Cylinder seal of Brown Stone 16 x 8 mm. In the middle is an offering table supported on a single leg, and to each side a standing figure in long robe raising one hand. A lunar crescent is put above the table. A terminal is formed of a tree with straight trunk and side branches. This is a post-Akkadian seal from Sumer, c. 2200-2100 B.C. It is cut crudely, but is in fine condition. It is a good example of its kind.' 2.0 grams, 17mm (3/4"). Property of a London gentleman; part of his family collection since the 1970s. This lot is part of a single collection of cylinder seals which were examined in the 1980s by Professor Lambert and most are accompanied by his own detailed notes; the collection has recently been reviewed by Dr. Ronald Bonewitz.
