Check out my new blog, “Art of the Crusades”, where I’ll curate an online collection of artifacts and buildings from the Middle East and Europe in the Medieval period following the one covered in my old blog!

A lead bulla seal inscribed with a horseback knight on the obverse and a five-towered gated fortress on the reverse.

Made in in the early thirteenth century for Lord Bohemond of Batroun.

Currently held in a private collection in Montreal, Quebec.
