Ottoman Empire, Seal Stamp, Battle of Gorjani, ca. 1537, Rare!

Copper alloy; 31mm/7.7gm  The octagonal seal is; 11mm/10mm.

Description/ Holed at the top, a four-sided stamp progressing to an octagonal seal that presents a lion crouching left, holding a scimitar. About and round the seal are not Islamic letters, but rather power symbols. Wow!

Seller's Note/ Ground-found at site of the Battle of Gorjani (see the map), Ottoman Era Stamp Seals such as this are not only rare but nearly impossible to find. During the chaos of the fighting it was somehow lost and forgotten on the battle ground until now.
