Kievan Rus Monetary Seal / Fur Money Vseslav Bryachislavovich (1068-1069)

I acquired another interesting lead seal of the Kievan Rus which appears to have been influenced by Byzantine seals. It measures 14.92 mm and weighs 2.67g.
 
Kievan Rus. Vseslav Bryachislavovich of Polotsk (1068-1069),  

Obverse St. Fedor
Reverse Cross with dots

Polotsk is the administrative center of the Polotsk district, the most ancient town of Belarus.  Between the 10th and 12th centuries, the Principality of Polotsk emerged as the dominant center of power in what is now Belarusian territory, with a lesser role played by the Principality of Turov to the south. It repeatedly asserted its sovereignty in relation to other centers of Kievan Rus, becoming a political capital, the episcopal see and the controller of vassal territories among Balts in the wes.  The Polotsk principality reached its peak during the rule of Vseslav Bryachislavovich, better known as Vseslav the Wizard.

Interesting, thanks for posting. Where did you get your attribution information from?

At the moment, I have attributed them via similar seals offered by various auction houses.  I believe that this is referenced to Guletskiy-Doroshkevich 35. 

As I very interested in these seals, I just purchased and awaiting the  the arrival of
