Watch List notes:

Daniel Liberοs, Sebastos. Circa 13th century. Seal or Bulla (Lead, 39 mm, 47.87 g). O/ΠP/OΦI/TH/C - Δ/A/NI/HΛ The Prophet Daniel standing facing, nimbate and raising both hands in prayer; to left and right, lion. Rev. + / KPITHC ΔA/NIHΛ KAI ΓP/AΦΩN NVN Π/POCTATHC TEΛEI/CEBACTOY ΛIBEPOY/ΠPAΞEIC KPI/NΩN (most Ns retrograde and with a number of ligatures in the legend) in eight lines. DO BZS.1951.31.5.2. Laurent, Orghidan 312. Laurent, Vatican 130. Wassiliou-Seibt, Corpus I, 1150. From the same bulloterion as the example from the collection of Robert Hecht, Triton XI, 2008, 1212. This is the best known seal of its type. Extremely fine.

In Christian iconography this is the typical way Daniel is shown, praying to God between two lions in their den. Depictions of the Prophet Daniel on Byzantine seals are quite scarce and the seal of Liberos stands out by being the largest. A more intriguing seal with Daniel shows him with the three youths in the Fiery Furnace: DO BZS.1958.106.1841.
