Byzantine lead seals, known as sigilla or bulla, were official insignias used in the Byzantine Empire from the 4th to the 15th centuries. These seals were typically made of lead, although some were crafted from other materials like bronze or gold, and they served various administrative and ceremonial purposes, such as authenticating documents, confirming ownership, or marking important correspondence.
