Gold binding is the additional, not original. Did anyone hear about this ? Where can I find more detailed information? How much it may be worth ? Thanks for your answers.

The word "seal" could mean either the actual stamp used to make a seal, made of carved stone, or the lead impressions made by the stones that actually did the sealing up of documents, objects, structures etc. Both classes of object appear to be rather rare for the Islamic series (Roman and Byzantine ones are much more common). As you can see from the links to Christies auctions, they can be quite expensive. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

vs55 New Member Poland 3 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 10:24 am The seals are made of glass (in my opinion :) ). I'm going to upload better quality pictures tomorrow. Unfortunately, I do not know anything more, but probably tomorrow I will go to the national museum, and I think i'll know more about it. Thanks a lot for help. @ EDIT Edited by vs55 06/10/2010 10:53 am Report this Post to the Staff
