A fine Western Asiatic haematite cylinder seal featuring a horizontally engraved worship scene. The seal depicts two large warrior figures kneeling on either side of a standing robed figure with an elaborate headdress, possibly a priest. The seal has been pierced longitudinally for suspension.
Date: Circa 2nd Millennium BC
From a Cotswold, UK, collection. The entire collection was seen and some entries catalogued (not this one) by the late Professor Wilfrid George Lambert pre 1990. The late W.G. Lambert was Professor of Assyriology at the University of Birmingham in the period 1970-1993.
Very fine condition. This seal comes with a museum-quality modern impression.
