Here's a description of the image:

Overall:

The image displays two small, circular, dark-colored artifacts, likely ancient seals. They are positioned side-by-side against a plain, light background. One artifact seems to show a seal with what appears to be script on it, the other looks to have more refined script.

Individual Artifacts:

• Seal 1 (Left): This seal appears to be made of a dark, possibly metallic material. The surface is weathered and shows signs of age and use. The top portion of the artifact has a carved symbol. Below the symbol there is script, though the characters are partially worn or obscured.

• Seal 2 (Right): This seal also appears to be made of a similar material. The surface is weathered. The seal has several lines of script which appear more distinct and clearer than the first seal. The lines of text seem to be stacked within a circular form, giving the artifact a sense of order.

In General:

The lighting is even, and the focus is clear, highlighting the details of the seals and their inscriptions. The overall impression is one of antiquity and historical significance.

The image shows two sides of a circular, aged, lead seal or bulla, likely of medieval or Byzantine origin. They are positioned next to each other on a white surface, with a scale bar visible on the right side of the image.

Left Bulla:

• Features: This side of the bulla is stamped with a design that includes a geometric symbol at the top, possibly a stylized religious symbol or monogram. Below this, are what appear to be letters or characters arranged in two lines.
• Condition: The surface is worn and corroded, making it difficult to discern the exact details of the design.

Right Bulla:

• Features: This side of the bulla is stamped with what appears to be text arranged in multiple lines, with each letter or character deeply stamped.
• Condition: Similar to the left bulla, this side shows signs of significant wear and aging, with corrosion affecting the clarity of the text.
• The lettering is stylized, with serifs or block-like formations at the ends of the strokes. The letters are organized vertically to form words or phrases.
• The text of the right side looks like:
  • "AOGCT
  • ΦUIΛIA
  • TV"

The bullae are photographed in a well-lit environment, which helps to highlight the texture and details of the stamps, despite their degraded condition.
