Moscow [Russia], April 17 (ANI/ WAM): Near the Church of Elijah the Prophet of Obydenny in the centre of the capital, archaeologists have discovered the rarest find of the 16th-early 17th century - a double-sided seal-matrix. This is reported by the official portal of the Moscow Mayor and Moscow Government, according to TV BRICS.
On one side it shows a lion, on the other - a warrior with a sword and dagger, but not in full height, as it was customary, and at the waist. This format is extremely rare and may shed light on the peculiarities of local symbolism of the late Middle Ages.
