Early Bronze Age to Late Classical, London, 1970, p.90, fig.206 (photos), p.106 (description and literature); authenticity is supported by the masterful execution of the figures, but especially by some subtle differences: 1) Face of the goddess: Boardman-seal: of a woman; this example is of a lioness. 2) Head above between goddess and Minotaurus: Boardman-seal: the facing head of a horned deity; on this example: a bukranion. 3) The two crossed lions: Boardman-seal: something sandwiched between winged disc and Minotauros; this example: standing on a high altar table or standard. 4) Characters between goddess and Minotaurus: Boardman-seal: only one; this example: three characters. 5) Fish and star this seal are missing in Boardman-seal. 29 grams, 36.7mm (1 1/4"). Property of a London gentleman; from his father's collection formed in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Very fine condition. Very rare.
