 		The impressions on this page belong to a distinct sub-category of 2-winged icons that do not have inscriptions in their bottom registers by design--not due to a weak impression.  Note:  The stray mark between the Head & right Bicep of the icon may have resulted from a slip-of-the-hand by the engraver as it does not appear to have any reason for being there; this may indicate that the LMLK seals were precious or semi-precious gems instead of common materials like lead, bronze, or wood.
