The article discusses a selection of five particular pieces from the 27 sealings found at Pistiros in Disinfectants and Cleaning Bulgaria in 2012, most of them with two imprints, apparently attached to a document with a contract or a deal.Subjects represented on the seals discussed here show grotesques, caricatures and mice acting as humans.They reflect a specific anecdotic side of Greek art in its northern fringes expressed in grotesque, at the time of Philip Keychain II and Alexander the Great.
Attached is a late 4th century BC Attic pelike from Pistiros with similar caricature of Rhea and Kronos, from the ca.310 BC destruction.
