Theotoke boethei
(1/1)
Molinari:
I'm having a piece of jewelry made for my initiation into the Equestrian Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. It is a ring, and, like the Byzantine seal I wrote about in another thread, features a man-faced bull seal (which I'm having engraved with various Christian icons as my personal seal). On either side of the ring I want two things--on one side, a Jerusalem cross, and on the other, the Theotoke boethei monogram. My question is, does anyone have a clear, schematic picture of the monogram? I found this attached one online but it is a bit too stylized. And all the others I found are on actual seals, so I don't want my jeweler to have to extrapolate from those. I do not have a large Byzantine library but my guess is such a clear, schematic image exists out there. Any help greatly appreciated.

Molinari:
I suppose "Seals" might have been a better category!
Molinari:
Courtesy of Gert.
Simon sent one as well but with a squared-off central Theta.
Thanks, guys, much appreciated. I'll post developments as my jeweler makes progress.
Simon:
Look forward to seeing it.
