The image shows two halves of a damaged Byzantine lead seal. They are arranged side by side on a white surface, with a scale bar on the right side. The seals are roughly semi-circular, with a rough, aged texture and light grayish-brown color.

Each seal half features a distinct design: one side shows a depiction, possibly a portrait with Greek letters, while the other side displays Greek inscriptions arranged in a grid-like pattern.

Here's a description of the image:

The image presents two halves of an ancient, weathered seal. They are made of a dull, greyish-brown material, likely metal, and are broken, possibly from age or force.

  • Left Half: This piece features a design that's partially intact. There's a circular emblem at the top, possibly a face or stylized feature. Below this are what appear to be letters or symbols.
  • Right Half: This half shows more visible lettering, arranged in a grid-like pattern. The letters appear to be of a style characteristic of the time.

The overall impression is of an archaeological artifact, possibly a coin, seal, or token, displaying an inscription or imagery significant to its original purpose.
