Bringing the Holy Land Home: The Crusades, Chertsey Abbey, and the Reconstruction of a Medieval Masterpiece

Where did the Seal of Amalric go?

By Omar Afifi '24

It’s difficult to pinpoint the routes along which this seal travelled before it ended up as part of the substantial seal collection at Dumbarton Oaks, in Washington DC. However, the seal began its journey at the court of King Amalric, where it was created from seal dies. It was then joined to an important document and carried to a high-ranking official, either inside or outside the borders of the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem.
