Description: The secret seal of Skanderbeg was likely made of a precious stone, a sort of engraved gem molded into a ring. It shows the mythological Aetolian princess Leda wearing a phrygian cap – similar to the one seen in a 1584 portrait of Skanderbeg by french author André Thevet – with her back exposed and gently lifting her gown, while sitting upright next to the Zeus of Dodona in the form of a swan. The seal is thought to have been used around the year 1459.
