WESTERN ASIATIC CYLINDER SEAL WITH CHARIOTEER 14th-11th century BC A glazed composition cylinder seal with chariot and horses; accompanied by a typed and signed scholarly note issued by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: "Cylinder Seal of Fawn Mineral with Traces of Turquoise Glaze: 56 x 21 mm. A standing man with beard and hair done up in a bun at the nape of the neck is holding the reins of two galloping horses as he stands braced in a chariot. Under the horses are two running quadrupeds (hunting dogs?) and in front is a rearing quadruped (the prey?) and two more above the horses' heads and bodies. A rhomb fills a space at the top of the area. The scene is enclosed within upper and lower rulings. This is a rare type of cylinder seal, from north-west Iran c.1400-1100 B.C. The ends are chipped a little, and there is one chip off the upper surface of the design, but the whole is reasonably clear and a very lively depiction." 27 grams, 55mm (2 1/4"). Fine condition. Provenance From a London, UK, collection; acquired 1970s.
