This image shows two sides of an ancient object, possibly a lead seal or medallion.

  • Left side: Features a heavily worn depiction of a figure, likely a saint or religious symbol, standing next to a cross adorned with small decorative elements. The design is eroded but retains a sense of its original craftsmanship.

  • Right side: Contains an inscription written in a blocky, ancient script, possibly Greek or Cyrillic, arranged in multiple lines. It appears to reference a religious or official title. There is also a small cross near the bottom center of the text.

The object shows considerable age and wear, with a textured, corroded surface suggesting its historical significance or usage as a seal or token.

The image shows two sides of an ancient seal made of lead. The seal appears weathered and worn, suggesting its antiquity. On the left side, the seal features a relief image that seems to depict a standing human figure. To the figure's left is a cross with flared arms, commonly seen in Byzantine iconography.

On the right side, the seal displays a circular design with several lines of Greek inscription in relief. The text is organized in a circular pattern, and given the condition, some letters may be difficult to discern. The inscription likely contains the name and title of an important figure or official from the period when this seal was used.

The seal may have been used in a historical Byzantine context, possibly as a token of authenticity or authority for documents or goods. The seal's historical context along with the inscriptions suggest it was part of a bureaucratic or religious transaction.

The image displays two ancient lead seals, each with distinct features. The first seal is circular and features a faint image of a figure, possibly a religious or official figure, holding a staff or scepter. The figure is depicted in a standing posture, and the staff extends vertically. The seal has a rough texture and appears to be weathered, with some parts of the image eroded. The second seal is also circular but shows a more legible inscription in ancient script. The inscription reads "ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΥ ΜΑΡΚΙΑΝΟΥ ΑΡΧΟΝΤΟΣ ΠΑΡΑΗΝΙ," which translates to "Second Markianos, archon of Paraheni." The seal is also weathered, with some parts of the inscription eroded, but the letters are still discernible. Both seals are placed on a white background, which helps to highlight their details.

Here's a description of the image:

The image presents two sides of what appears to be an ancient seal, possibly made of lead or a similar material. Both sides are circular or slightly oval in shape, with a somewhat irregular, weathered texture, suggesting age. They are set against a plain white background.

Left Side:

  • The left side displays a central figure of a standing person, possibly a saint or a prominent figure, as it appears to be wearing a robe and holding a staff or a cross-like object.
  • A cross is positioned above the figure's head and one in their right hand.
  • Surrounding the figure, there appear to be some Greek inscriptions.

Right Side:

  • This side is dominated by inscriptions, also in Greek. The letters are clearly etched into the surface. The inscription seems to be a name or title, but the exact meaning would require knowledge of ancient Greek.
  • The letters are arranged vertically to create more characters.

Both seals have some degree of damage and chipping around the edges, confirming their antiquity. The overall impression is of a historical artifact.

The image shows two sides of an ancient seal, likely from the Byzantine era.

  1. Left Side:

    • The seal depicts a figure, possibly a saint or a religious figure, standing with a cross in the left hand. The figure is dressed in what appears to be traditional religious attire.
    • The figure is flanked by Greek letters, which are typical of Byzantine seals. The letters "IC" and "XC" can be seen, which are abbreviations for "Jesus Christ" in Greek.
  2. Right Side:

    • This side contains an inscription in Greek. The text is arranged in a circular pattern around the edge of the seal.
    • The inscription reads: "ΜΙΧΑΗΛ ΠΙΣΚΟΠΟΥ ΑΔΡΑΝΙΤ[...]" which translates to "Michael, Bishop of Adranit[...]". The text is partially worn, making the full name of the location unclear.

The seal is made of a material that appears to be metal, possibly lead, which was common for Byzantine seals. The wear and tear on the seal indicate its age and historical significance. Such seals were used for official documentation and correspondence in the Byzantine Empire.
