Journal Title: Матеріали і дослідження з археології Прикарпаття і Волині - Year 2016, Vol 20, Issue
Abstract
territory of the Kievan Rus’ where with the passing of time, their indigenous equivalents appeared and were used by the secular and the church authorities. A very special type of seal that we can trace to Rus’ is type Dorogichin. Type Dorogichin seals enter the record in 1864; at this time their first specimens were recovered from the waters of the River Bug. Despite many studies made and numerous research articles published during the nineteenth and the twentieth century by researchers from different countries, the function of the Dorogichin seals remains a puzzle. As said by Karol Bołsunowski, one of early twentieth century Polish researchers who studied the seals – they are “a Sphinx of sigillography”. Currently, many issues concerning Dorogichin seals are being researched as a part of a grant “The Sphinx of Slav Sigillography – Dorogichin Seals from Czermno in their East European Context”.
