This image shows two sides of an ancient lead seal. On the left side, an embossed figure is depicted, possibly a religious figure or saint, encircled by a halo and surrounded by intricate details. The figure is holding an object, and the image has significant wear but retains recognizable elements. On the right side, there are rows of embossed Greek text. The details suggest the object could be of Byzantine origin, commonly used for official documentation or correspondence. The seal's age and weathering give it a historic, archaeological significance.

The image depicts a two-sided Byzantine lead seal. The seal is small and circular with a flattened surface on each side.

The obverse side (on the left in the image) features a depiction of Jesus Christ shown from the waist up, holding the Gospels in his left hand and making a blessing gesture with his right hand. He is enclosed within a halo, symbolizing holiness.

The reverse side (on the right in the image) contains an inscription in Greek, although the text is worn and somewhat difficult to read. The seal appears to have been used for authenticating documents or items, typical of Byzantine administrative practices.

Both sides exhibit wear consistent with the age of such seals and have a dull, grayish-brown patina typical of weathered lead artifacts. A scale or reference marker is partially visible on the right side of the image, suggesting the object is part of a catalog or collection.
