“The Seal of Solomon. (Oh Lord) help the person carrying (this seal)!”
Nearly 70,000 seals have survived to date from the Byzantines, who began manufacturing them in 4th-5th centuries. The word sigillography used in reference to the study of seals is derived from the Latin word “sigillum,” meaning seal.
