STEATITE SEAL, CIRCA 2000-1700 BC

Reference: ART600700

An early Bronze Age in dark grey steatite. They are often called Porto-Hititte which is also probably accurate. Here a lion is seen rearing up on its hind legs to attack a hunter holding a dagger and small spear. The spaces between the types are filled with linear types.
The seal then has an angled protruding lip which serves to hold a bronze ring for suspension. The edges are decorated with parallel groves while the back has drilled depressions around three edges.
6 by 5 by 2 cm.
