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.
