"Most of the seals of this style [cut-style]... date from the first millennium. They can be divided into an earlier group, dated approximately in the ninth or eighth century B.C. (724-733), and a later, belonging probably to the seventh and sixth centuries (734-746)... Certain deviations from Assyrian linear-style representations, however, indicate that the arly cut-style seals were made not by Assyrian but by Babylonian engravers.... Furthermore, there is not known parallel in contemporary Assyrian art for the stag assailed by a griffin, as in 724."--Porada, CANES, p. 87
