COLLECTION OF WESTERN ASIATIC BRONZE STAMP SEALS - WITH ORIGINAL PROF. LAMBERT REPORT Ca. 2300 - 1800 BC. A collection of six bronze stamp seals. One is roughly oval with a flat face engraved with a linear pattern of curving strokes.

A third presents a flat compartmented face engraved with a two-headed eagle, its wings spread and talons and tail feathers visible.

Another has a triangular layout with a deeply incised design of one or two curling snakes, their bodies extending to each tip of the triangle. The last item is of a circular form and is engraved with a cross combining features of a Greek and formée cross within an outer rim.
