A mixed group of amuletic items comprising: a green glazed composition scarab with hieroglyphic text to the underside, bronze suspension loop; a grey glazed composition rectangular bead with intaglio motifs of groups of figures; a Sumerian carved bone dress pin terminal; a ceramic Buddha figurine with nimbus of flame to the rear; a modern green glazed composition trapezoidal pendant with low-relief bird. 11 grams, 16-28mm (1/2 - 1"). Ex Steinberg collection; acquired London art market, 1960s-1970s. Walter Steinberg has been a well-known figure at fairs, sales and events for many years. Born in 1922 in Philadelphia, Walter has had a life-long passion for collecting. A long-time resident in London, he has now retired to New York and decided that the time has come to pass on the antiquities and coins he has collected over his lifetime. Walter acquired coins and artefacts that interested him, so his collection, although containing many lovely examples, also contains many affordable specimens. Much of the material has been unavailable to the market for 30 to 50 years. Walter hopes that the items he collected will now find new homes with the next generation of collectors.
