"Rare bronze stamp seal of the Hephthalites or the White Huns as they're also known. Hunnic Empire of the Hindu Kush, 4th.-6th. century CE. Likely an administrative seal for an important official, due to it's size and fine workmanship. Diameter of the base 32-33 mm. max and it's c. 32 mm. tall. Very heavy and in solid bronze weighing 53.39 grams.
Provenance: Johan Dæhnfeldt Estate Collection, 2012, acquired in the 1990s in Copenhagen."
