A lovely seal of hard burnt pottery, depicted the bust of a knight with helmet and chainmail, ca. 7th.-10th. century AD.
Interesting depiction and likely Islamic but could be Byzantine as well.
Size: 6,8 cm. in diameter.
Condition: Superb for the fragile type with preserved handle at the back.
Ex. Old Private collection, 1895-1973.
