Hi all. Here is another roughly rectangular lead seal, no
inscription, but a figure advancing left that I think must be
Hermes. To me, the figure appears to be nude with a cloak (chamlys?) on left shoulder and possibly winged boots, as well. The right hand extends off-flan where you might expect to see him holding a bag. Any other opinions, corrections, or confirmation would be most appreciated. Figural representations on these small
Roman seals (bag
seals?) seems to be quite the exception from what I have seen. Thanks, again. Jimi
