Lot description
Grade: VF
Reference: Garbaczewski 146, Kopicki 292.a (R4), Stronczyński XXI.23.a

A rare brakteat.

Broken, lae without damage to the imagery.

Depiction: inside the quadrilateral a figure seated in profile to the right, holding a pennant standing in front of her, between two pearl columns.

As W. Garbaczewski points out, this is "one of the few examples among Piast brakteates depicting a ruler in a space bounded by a series of walls.... such a composition may have expressed the idea of 'sovereignty of the ruler in the territory subordinate to him.' A string of fortifications that realized the inviolability of borders secured against aggressors...".

Issuance attributed in some literature to Leszek the White, but with unconfirmed attribution.

Silver, diameter 17.5 mm, weight 0.10 g
