This image shows two sides of an ancient lead seal artifact. The seal appears to be worn and roughly oval in shape, with surface corrosion and irregular edges consistent with its age. On the left side, there is a faint depiction of a human figure, possibly a bust or portrait, in relief. The figure is simplistic and indistinct due to erosion. On the right side, there is a series of inscribed text in Greek or another ancient script. While some of the characters are clearly visible, the overall text is partially obscured, making it difficult to decipher fully. The seal likely served an administrative or official purpose, perhaps used to authenticate documents or property in historical contexts.
