Abstract
The article discusses V. Yanin’s attribution of a large but compact group of Old Russian offi cial hanging seals showing the Annunciation on one side and St. Theodorus or St. John the Baptist on the other (Янин, 1970, № 133–139).
Yanin thought that these seals (of the extant hundred and twenty seals twenty five are now in the Hermitage collection) belonged to Novgorod Princes Vsevolod-Gavriil Mstislavovich-Feodorovich (1117–1136) and Ivor-Ioann Vsevolodovich-Gavriilovich (1125–1127).
Sotnikova supports Yanin’s attribution by comparing the iconography and paleography of Russian bulls, as well as their artistic style, with the specimens of Byzantine sphragistics. The author supplements this group with a seal from the Hermitage collection (№ 3315/630, Ян. 773) which remained unattributed for hundred years.
The author also confi rms the attribution of a seal of the Annunciation monastery in Novgorod, dating it by the 15th century (Эрм., № 3315/625, Ян. 765).
