Abstract

The authors present two seals (made out of metal) of the Romanian Orthodox Church of Lipova, Arad county. Both seals have in their emblem, the religious scene of Assumption of the Virgin Mary, wich is the feast day (the dedication day) of the church of the locality. The first presented seal does not have a date, it probably comes from the 18th century. The second seal dates from 1867, the year of manufacturing the seal. They are sigillography sources for the history of this church.
