Abstract

The object presented here was found in August 2018, in a layer of Crusader-period fill inside the cistern of the winery discovered at Miʿilyā–Castellum Regis. It is the first and only one of its type and style found to date. Given the object’s resemblance to a seal, it seems likely that it is, in some way, connected to the world of seals: that connection will be discussed, briefly, below. What follows aims to identify the object and its owner, and make suggestions regarding its use.
