This image shows two sides of an ancient artifact, likely a lead seal. The object is circular in shape with a rough and weathered surface. On the left side, there appears to be a faint depiction of a figure, possibly a portrait of a person, though the details are eroded and difficult to discern. On the right side, there are rows of raised markings or inscriptions, resembling a script or text, though the exact characters are difficult to interpret due to the worn condition. The artifact sits against a neutral background, and a black-and-white scale is visible on the far right for reference.

The image shows two sides of a Byzantine lead seal, also known as a seal or bulla. On the left side, there is an image of a bearded, haloed saint, possibly Saint Theodore, depicted wearing a cloak fastened with a fibula on his right shoulder and holding a martyr's cross in his right hand. The right side presents Greek inscriptions divided into six lines. The inscriptions are embossed on a roughly circular piece of lead that exhibits a weathered and corroded appearance. The seal's texture suggests it has aged significantly, with areas of roughness and discoloration typical of ancient artifacts.

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin or token. Here is a detailed description of each side:

  1. Left Side (Obverse):

    • The surface appears worn and eroded, indicating age and use.
    • There is a faint, indistinct image or design in the center, which is difficult to discern due to the wear.
    • The overall texture is rough and uneven, likely due to the material and age of the coin.
  2. Right Side (Reverse):

    • This side features inscriptions in what appears to be ancient Greek script.
    • The text is arranged in several lines, though it is partially worn and some characters are difficult to read.
    • The inscriptions suggest that the coin or token may have had a specific purpose or value, possibly related to trade, governance, or religious practices.

The coin or token is likely made of a metal such as bronze or a similar alloy, which was common in ancient times. The wear and tear indicate it has been in circulation or use for a significant period. The presence of Greek script suggests it could be from a region where Greek was used, such as ancient Greece or the Hellenistic world.
