Basil the Proedros:
Has anybody a copy of G. Zacos, Byzantine lead seals? I need a reference for a sea but at the moment I have no access to this book.
Thank You for Your help.

Gert:
I have both volumes, and I'd be willing to look it up if you upload the photo.
Regards
Gert

Basil the Proedros:
Thank You very much! I don't collect seals but I'm studying a particular iconographic feature in Byzantine art: the leaved Cross. I know there is a seal belonged to Maria of Alania (Michael VII's wife) which shows her figure with a foliate cross-scepter. I kindly ask You to tell me the catalogue number of the seal and the page number where it is described (I think it's in Volume 1).

Thank You again for this important help.

Gert:
I can't find a seal of Mary of Alania in either volume of Zacos. Why do you think it has to be in there?
Regards
Gert

Basil the Proedros:
Thank you for your search. I remembered the volume 1 deals with imperial seals and I thought this seal could be in this catalogue. Anyway some years ago I saved an image of this seal from the web but unfortunately I didn't write the references. I attach the image to this post. Thank's again.
