Christ as the Good Shepherd - Seal of the Day

I am quite thrilled about this very early image of Christ on a lead seal.

Roman lead seal, c. 4th-5th century
Jesus Christ, as the Good Shepherd, standing left, wearing short sleeveless tunic, carrying sheep across his shoulders. Two more sheep on either side.
18x14x7mm; 4.45g


Best regards
