EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Seal of Empress Maria of Alania, dating back to 1070. Crafted by an anonymous numismatic artist, this bronze seal is a true testament to the fine artistry and craftsmanship of ancient times. The intricate design features the emblem of the Bagrationi dynasty, rulers of the Kingdom of Georgia during that era. Empress Maria of Alania, known for her influential role in Byzantium politics, was married to Emperor Michael VII Doukas. This seal symbolizes her power and status as a prominent figure in medieval history. Its remarkable preservation in a private collection allows us to marvel at its beauty and historical significance today. The image captures every delicate detail etched onto this small yet significant artifact. From its ornate borders to the regal depiction of Empress Maria herself, it transports us back centuries into a world where seals were not just functional objects but works of art. As we admire this stunning piece through our modern lens, we are reminded once again that art has no boundaries when it comes to time or place. It serves as a bridge connecting us with distant cultures and their rich heritage. This print is not only a visual delight but also an educational tool that sheds light on glyptics and medals from ancient times. It invites us to delve deeper into numismatics – the study and collection of coins – providing valuable insights into historical events and dynasties like never before.
