Ancient Hittite bronze stamp-seal, c. 1700-1500 BC.
Fantastic tri-lobed design with etched floral design of swirls and dots on base. The shaft of the piece has multiple etched-ring "grips" and the elongated top is holed-through for wearing. This was a personal seal, or signet (as in "signature") so it makes sense that the owner would keep it close to the heart. Nice olive-green patina with some original earthen encrustation. Measures 28 mm (1 1/8") tall. ref: Van der Osten, Collection Hans Von Aulock, p. 138, 86-88 for similar type. A great piece!. #6051x2: $299
