This image shows two sides of a circular, worn object that appears to be a lead seal, possibly historical or archaeological in nature. The seal features inscriptions in what looks like Greek script, along with symbols. The left side displays a cross at its center, surrounded by letters and designs organized in a radial pattern. The right side contains multiple rows of text, likely inscriptions denoting names, titles, or identifiers. The object is weathered, rough, and exhibits traces of erosion or damage, indicating its age and possible exposure to the elements over time. A black-and-white scale marker is visible in the image, suggesting this object is part of a studied collection.

The image shows two views of an ancient lead seal known as a "byzantine bulla." These seals were used in the Byzantine Empire to authenticate documents. Each side of the seal bears inscriptions in Greek script, though due to the wear and age of the artifact, some of the characters are not easily legible. The seal appears circular, and the surface is uneven and corroded, suggesting significant age and perhaps long-term burial or exposure. On the left side, a design that resembles a cross is visible, while the right side has a grid pattern with several lines of text. The seal is placed on a light grey background with a portion of a scale bar visible on the right side of the image, likely indicating the artifact's size. These types of seals were commonly used to secure and authenticate correspondence and came from an era where the Byzantine Empire was a dominant force in the medieval world.

The image shows two sides of an ancient clay artifact, likely a bulla or seal impression. Bullae were used in ancient times to seal documents by impressing a unique design or inscription into the clay, which would then harden and secure the document.

Here are the details:

1. Material: The artifact appears to be made of clay, which is typical for bullae.
2. Shape: Both sides are roughly circular with irregular edges, which is common for these types of artifacts due to their method of creation and use.
3. Inscriptions:
   • The left side shows a clear impression with what appears to be an inscription in an ancient script, possibly Hebrew or another Semitic language. The script is neatly arranged in horizontal lines.
   • The right side also features an inscription, though it appears less distinct and more worn compared to the left side. The characters are still legible but less clear.
4. Condition: The artifact shows signs of wear and aging, with some areas appearing more eroded or damaged than others. This is typical for ancient clay objects that have been buried or exposed to the elements over time.

These types of artifacts are significant for archaeological and historical studies, as they can provide insights into the administrative practices, language, and culture of ancient civilizations.
