This image shows two sides of an ancient, worn lead seal, likely of Byzantine origin, based on the design and script. The object is circular and exhibits significant weathering, with much of the surface showing signs of corrosion or chipping.

• Left side: Displays faint inscriptions and symbols in relief. The central design features a cross or similar decorative detail, framed by letters or text, though the worn surface makes specific identification challenging.
• Right side: Contains text arranged in multiple lines, possibly Greek. The text and symbols are more clearly visible here but still eroded in some areas. At the bottom, the surface is slightly more degraded.

The image suggests the seal was used for official purposes, possibly in administrative or religious contexts, and shows marking to scale (a measuring strip in black and white is visible on the right).

The image shows two views of a Byzantine lead seal, known as a bulla, featuring inscriptions in Greek characters. The bulla appears to be a circular, flat object with rough edges, indicating it is likely quite old and may have seen some wear. The letters on the bulla are raised and seem to have been stamped into the lead, though due to erosion, some of the characters are difficult to discern. Both sides of the bulla are shown, with inscriptions covering the surfaces. The background is neutral, which highlights the color and texture of the bulla. To the right, there's a black and white scale bar that indicates the size of the seal.

These appear to be ancient clay seals or bullae, showing two sides of what might be the same artifact. The objects are circular and made of clay or a similar material, with visible inscriptions or text impressed into their surfaces. The seals appear to be weathered and aged, with a grayish-brown coloring typical of archaeological finds. The text appears to be in an ancient script, possibly Hebrew or another Semitic language, though the exact writing is difficult to make out clearly due to the worn condition of the artifacts. These types of seals were commonly used in antiquity for official documents or to mark ownership of items.

The image shows two sides of a round, gray-colored object that appears to be a seal or coin. The object is lying on a white surface. A ruler marked in centimeters is on the right.

The object has a rough, uneven surface, and both sides display raised symbols or letters. The details are not very clear due to wear or the quality of the image, but it is possible to discern some of the shapes. The object has a ragged edge, indicating that it has been damaged.

Here's a description of the image:

The image shows two ancient-looking, circular objects, possibly seals or coins, side-by-side. They appear to be made of a dull, greyish-brown material, possibly metal like lead, that has aged and possibly corroded over time. The objects are roughly circular with irregular edges, suggesting wear and tear.

Each object has inscriptions and possibly some imagery on its surface. The script seems to be in a language that is not modern English. On one object, there's a distinct symbol and lettering, while on the other, the writing is more prominent. The details are worn and somewhat difficult to make out due to the age and condition of the objects. The background is plain white. A black and white color bar is on the right, possibly for size reference.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely a Byzantine seal or coin, featuring inscriptions and possibly an image of a figure. Here's a detailed description:

1. Left Side (Obverse):

   • The coin has a central figure that appears to be a standing person, possibly a religious or imperial figure. The figure is depicted in a frontal pose, wearing what seems to be a robe or tunic.
   • Surrounding the figure are inscriptions, which appear to be in Greek. The letters are somewhat worn but legible. The text likely includes abbreviations or titles that were common in Byzantine coins, such as "IC XC" which stands for "Jesus Christ."
   • The overall design is circular, and the coin has a rough, uneven edge.

2. Right Side (Reverse):

   • This side also features inscriptions, again likely in Greek. The text is arranged in a circular pattern around the edge of the coin.
   • The inscriptions are more prominent and clearer compared to the obverse side. The letters are larger and more deeply engraved.
   • The text might include names, titles, or phrases that were significant during the period the coin was minted.
   • There is a small, indistinct image or symbol at the bottom right, which might be a cross or another religious symbol.

The coin appears to be made of a metal alloy, possibly bronze or a similar material, and shows signs of wear and age, indicating it has been in circulation or use for some time. The inscriptions and imagery suggest it is from the Byzantine Empire, which was known for its rich history and intricate coinage.
