No impersonal 'shopping basket' system here. I prefer to do all this personally by email.

 

 

ALSO  PLEASE NOTE

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.

Quite rare to find cylinder seals still mounted like this.

This is a white stone, probably marble, Neo- Assyrian seal showing the nimbate Ishtar and priests: as well as what appears to be the Pleiades (sebettu or sibitti)  and a rhombus.

The loop cap and base might be in silver: it's difficult to decide if  bronze or silver.

Intact.

30mm overall

Neo- Assyrian 7th/8th century BC.

Price: sold GBP
