The image shows two highly corroded and broken fragments of an ancient round artifact, likely a seal or coin. The surface is rough and weathered, hinting at its age, with uneven textures and debris adhering to the object. On one side, faint, worn-out inscriptions or designs are visible, but difficult to decipher due to the damage and erosion. The artifact appears to be made of a metallic material, possibly lead or a similar metal, and both fragments exhibit significant deterioration and fracture marks. There is a scale on the edge of the image for size reference.

The image shows an ancient lead seal that is split into two halves. Both halves exhibit signs of erosion and wear, likely due to age and environmental exposure. The seal contains some sort of inscription or markings on its surface, which is visible but partially unclear due to the rough texture and damage. The seal appears to have been broken or cracked through its center, separating it into two distinct pieces. The material seems to be lead, and the color is a combination of gray, brown, and some possible remnants of other colors that suggest corrosion or oxidation. The surface details include embossed or engraved characters, possibly in Greek or Latin script, indicative of its historical significance.

The image shows two halves of what was likely a single, circular, possibly ancient artifact. The artifacts are a dark, mottled gray with a rough texture, and are each about half the size of a circle. They are set against a light gray or white background.

Each half is broken, with a jagged edge where they once joined. The surfaces of each half are not smooth but appear to be imprinted with some sort of design or perhaps an inscription. The inscription or design is not clearly visible due to the condition of the artifact and the quality of the image. A scale of black and white stripes is in the upper right of the image.

Here's a description of the image:

The image displays two halves of a split, ancient artifact, likely a clay or metal seal, resting on a plain white surface. The objects have a dark, rough texture, with a mottled appearance of browns, grays, and hints of reddish hues, suggesting the passage of time and possible oxidation or erosion.

Both halves are roughly oval in shape. The left artifact features partially visible, faded relief impressions, possibly of a decorative border or a central design. The right artifact has clear remnants of written characters, indicating that the seal was used to mark something. The characters are somewhat worn, but still distinguishable, with the remnants of lettering running across the surface.

The artifacts appear to have broken in half, with a clear vertical separation. The background is a clean white surface, which emphasizes the age and uniqueness of the artifacts.
