Seal of Klement imperial spatharios and kommerkiarios of Thessalonica (X c.)

Byzantine Lead Seal

A 10th century Byzantine Lead Seal. On the obverse of the Seal is a male saint ( presumably St. Nestor) with head bowed and turned forward, a sword before him; he gestures toward a saint (presumably St. Demetrios), dressed in a robe, his right hand upraised (possibly touching the bowing figure's head) and holding a spear transversely. On the reverse of the seal is an inscription written in Greek in a similar manner to other 10th century Byzantine Seals.
