Catalogue of Byzantine Seals at Dumbarton Oaks and in the Fogg Museum of Art

Dumbarton Oaks houses the largest collection of Byzantine lead seals in the world, with roughly 17,000 specimens. Volume 7 in the catalogue presents 572 anonymous seals¿almost all previously unpublished¿bearing sacred images on both sides. The catalogue represents the first attempt to analyze this group of seals chronologically and typologically.
