There are hardly any items for sale beyond page 29 on the gallery here.

I have left so many sold items on show (and in the sold archive) as many collectors have said they find such photos and information useful to have.

An interesting black stone Old Babylonian cylinder seal showing the naked goddess to the side of a pair of worshippers.

What is especially interesting about this seal is that the original inscription has been smoothed away so as to allow a new inscription to be cut. This re-use of seals was not uncommon.

The last pic compares the iconography with another seal of similar style.
