This seal is ancient. It features a coat of arms surmounted by a royal crown, with a two-armed archiepiscopal cross at the top.
The crown is surmounted by a headdress, part of the external ornaments, featuring a wide-brimmed hat, generally reserved for ecclesiastics.
The seal is accompanied by a cord, the number of knots of which reflects the ecclesiastic's rank.
Ecclesiastical heraldry. Patriarchs, archbishops and bishops can no longer use the insignia of family noble titles or secular dignities, but in the past they could use the external ornaments corresponding to any noble titles attached to their see or abbey. This practice was abolished in 1951 under the pontificate of Pius XII.
Condition: two missing pieces on the wood.
