Western Asiatic Akkadian Black Jasper Cylinder Seal with Sun-god Shamash and Worship Scene 2300-2200 BC. A carved black jasper seal with image of sun-god and attendants; supplied with a cast; accompanied by an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: ’Cylinder seal of black stone, 31 x 18 mm. In the centre of design is the sun-god Shamash. He is stepping up from the mountain of the east at dawn, wearing horns on his head and a short kilt. Rays arise from his shoulders and he holds up his saw-weapon, while gripping a club in the other hand. In front and behind is a door held open by an attendant god. To the far right is a standing worshipper in long robe holding up one hand. This is an Akkadian seal, c. 2300-2200 B.C. It is worn and there are a few small spots of damage, but the design is still clear to see. Ancient texts allude to the rising of Shamash from the gates of the east in the morning.' 18 grams, 31mm (1 1/4"). Property of a North London collector; acquired in the 1970s. This lot is part of a single collection of cylinder seals which were examined by the late Professor Lambert in the 1980s and many are accompanied by Professor Lambert’s own detailed notes; the collection has recently been reviewed by Dr. Ronald Bonewitz. It is accompanied by a museum-quality impression of the seal’s design. Fine condition, worn.

There are no octagonal Tavern clocks recorded with original striking movements.2. This movement originally standing on a seatboard on cheeks within the trunk, is now fitted to the dial with later false plate.3. Unlike other clocks the main section of this dial consists of a single piece of oak.4. Removal of the false plate reveals that the dial has always had two winding holes. There is no evidence of a single hole being plugged.5. In conclusion: despite alterations to the case, this clock has always had a striking movement.
