| Abstract | This session will deal with the use and choice of images for seals in different parts of Europe and by contrasting groups of people: the landed nobility, women, and bishops. It will explore the similarities and differences in seals and the way in which they were used, and the ways in which their size and design differed. It will contribute to the study of gender issues in the past, and the different choices made by men and women. |
