  • Left Side: It shows the embossed depiction of a figure, possibly a saint or a religious icon, surrounded by an inscription. The figure has a halo and is holding or gesturing with one hand, which is typical of Byzantine religious imagery. The details, though worn, suggest a finely crafted design.

The image is high-resolution, allowing for an examination of the texture and detail of the seal. The color of the seal is grayish, consistent with aged lead or similar metal. There is a ruler or scale to the right of the reverse side, indicating the size of the object for reference.

The image shows two ancient seals, likely made of metal, placed side by side against a white background.

The seal on the left features an embossed image of two figures, possibly saints, with halos. The figures are rendered in a somewhat stylized manner with visible clothing details. Around the figures, an inscription in a script is visible. The seal is worn, with visible signs of age, corrosion, and broken edges.

The image shows two views of an aged, circular metal seal. The seal appears to be made of a dark metal, likely lead or a similar material, and shows significant signs of wear, corrosion, and possibly embedded dirt, giving it a rough texture. Both sides of the seal feature images and text in a style reminiscent of Byzantine or early Christian art.

In the view on the left, the seal features two figures. The larger figure, likely a woman, is depicted with a halo and wearing robes. Next to her is a smaller figure, possibly a child, also with a halo, suggesting the figure is a saint or religious figure. The figures are surrounded by text in a circular pattern.

The seal's second view, on the right, has lines of text running across the seal. The text is in a script of an old language, possibly old Church Slavonic. The text's letterforms are simple and blocky. The seal's edges are irregular and textured.

The image shows two sides of what appears to be an ancient lead seal. These seals were commonly used in the Byzantine Empire for official documents and correspondence.

Left Side:

  • The left side of the seal features an intricate design with a depiction of a figure, likely a saint or a religious figure, possibly the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child.
  • The figure is surrounded by a circular border with inscriptions in Greek, which are typical of Byzantine seals. The text is partially visible and appears to be in a script that was used in medieval times.

Right Side:

  • The right side of the seal contains an inscription in Greek. The text is more legible and reads:
    "ΠΕΤΡΟΥ ΔΕΣΠΟΤΙΚΑ ΕΠΑΡΧΙΜΑ ΑΛΕΞΙΟΥ ΚΩΜΝΗΝΟΥ"
    This translates to:
    "Of Petros, Despotikon Eparchima of Alexios Komnenos"
  • The inscription indicates that the seal belonged to a person named Petros, who held a high-ranking position (Eparchima) under Alexios Komnenos, likely referring to a Byzantine emperor or a member of the Komnenos dynasty.

These seals were used to authenticate documents and ensure their integrity, often attached to official correspondence or decrees. The detailed imagery and inscriptions provide valuable historical and cultural insights into the Byzantine Empire's administrative and religious practices.
