Abstract
Based upon a database of 7,390 lead seals that bear religious figural imagery in conjunction with the names and official titles of their owners, this paper investigates the contribution of lead seals to our understanding of the choice of various religious images as an expression of personal piety. The study examines the roles of homonymity, gender, family names and official titles in individuals’ selections of sacred images for their seals. Tables and figures display the numerical and statistical results that are compared to trends found in other media.
