Three plaster casts to accompany the article "Six Babylonian and Assyrian Seals" by S. H. Langdon, JRAS 1927. The three casts are of the first three seals that Langdon describes. The first is from the period of the Dungi and Isin dynasty (2409-2075). A worshipper stands with hands folded at the waist before a seated deified king, and behind him the mother goddess with both hands raised implores the aid of the divine king for her human protégé. This seal, and the second one, were owned by a Mr Casson of New College, Oxford.

The second seal is of a woman and is engraved with the design of the glyptic of the First Babylonian dynasty – that of the Amorite god Amurru and his wife Shala. The upper circle represents the sun.

The third seal is an Assyrian seal of the Late period and shows a worshipper before a deity who stands upon a mythological animal with human head, bird body and scorpion tail. This seal was owned by a Mr L.D. Grand of the Ministry of Defence in Baghdad.
