This seal has a flat oblong base, ridged sides flaring inwards to the handle, which is pierced. It has two grooves over the top, and another groove around the sides. The design shows a prancing stag with a bird(?) above its back and two wedges between its legs. This is a seal of Syria or Anatolia, c. 900-600 B.C. It is in good condition.'; (T-553) 'Stamp Seal of Green Stone, 24 x 23 x 18mm. This has a roughly flat square face and sides that flare inwards to a ridge supporting a platform on which is a pierced loop handle. The design on the face shows a standing horned quadruped and various extra cuts, including a simple cross. This comes from west central Asia or some area to its west and dates to c. 4000-3400 B.C. It is a little damaged, but generally in fair condition. The extra cuts were made in the ancient world as the seal passed to a new owner.'; (R-441) 'Stamp Seal of Dark-coloured Stone, 24 x 18 x 13mm.

So far the script has not been deciphered.'; (1518) 'Bifacial Stamp Seal of Fawn Stone, 31 x 21 x 12mm. On the one side is a heraldic eagle, with wings spread and tail feathers down. Each side is a scrolling line. On the other side is a standing man, with hair hanging down to his shoulder, a scabbard at the waist, and raising one hand. Other small items occur to his right and left, but are now partially obscured by incrustation. This seal comes from eastern Iran or Bactria, and dates to c. 2300-1800 B.C.
