Descrizione : 2nd millennium BC-2nd century AD. A group of ten stone seals, including five accompanied by a typed and signed note by the late W.G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which state: (T-649) 'Stamp Seal of Dark-coloured Mineral Substance, 12.5 x 11 x 7mm, This is a scarab, with design on the base showing a recumbent quadruped with long neck and head turned backwards. This comes from Iran or west central Asia and dates to c. 1000-300 B.C. The edges are chipped.', (T-549) 'Stamp Seal of Black Stone, 16 x 13.5 x 10mm. In form this is a scaraboid, pierced lengthways. The design on the face shows a standing figure in long robe with bottom fringe, a nimbus around the body as the figure raises one hand. The back also has engraving, but is too worn to identify. This comes from Syria-Palestine, and dates to c. 800-500 B.C. it is worn, but the design on the face is clear.', (T-563) 'Stamp Seal of Black Stone, 14 x 18 x 6mm. This is a thin scaraboid, pierced lenghtways. the design shows a sitting lion with head turned backwards and object above back. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 1200-400 B.C. It is a rare type, but worn.', (P-74) 'Stamp Seal of Black Stone, 10 x 13 x 6mm. This is a scaraboid, pierced lengthways. The design shows a recumbent horned animal within an oval borer. The animal is stylized, in particular the horns have become a hatched shape. This is a pre-Islamic Arabian seal, c.300 B.C. to 200 A.D. It is nicely engraved, and in good condition save for some chipping of the edges.', (1055) 'Ancient Scarab of Green Stone with White Glaze, 19 x 15 x 9mm. The design on the base shows a striding male figure holding a Was-sceptre, a cobra rearing in front of him, and a linear motif between the figure's legs. The whole design is put in a linear frame with hatched base at the bottom. This is a scarab of fine quality, and while there are problems about the precise dating of may scarabs, most likely this comes from the Second Intermediate Period (c. 1800-1600 B.C.). It is a fine example, and may come either from Egypt itself, or from the East-Mediterranean coastlands. it is worn, especially at the ends where the hole emerges, but the design is well preserved.', a black scarab with grazing bull design to the stamp, one grey scarab with antelope and plant design, a yellow stone elliptical seal with standing robed figure with beard, holding forward right arm, a white stone seal with convex surface depicting two figures standing either side of a tree with arms raised, above them the symbol of Faravahar with an additional bust to each wing, and a white plano-convex with two standing figures either side of a central post, below them a row of symbols, possibly an alphabetic inscription. 35 grams total, 13-22mm (1/2-1). The Signo collection, the property of a West London businessman, formed in the late 1980s-early 1990s, collection numbers 46, 1055, 2405, A-11, P-74, T-290, T-294, T-548, T-563, T-649, academically researched and catalogued by the late Professor Lambert in the early 1990s.
