In her study, the author conveys the findings of chemical composition investigations performed on Ottoman seals in the collection of the Hungarian National Museum. The examinations conducted draw attention to connectedness between chemical composition, shape, and inscription type; this can assist with dating. In the material reviewed, one group stands out in particular: seals with bell-shaped bodies which can in all likelihood be dated to the 16th–17th centuries and which in most cases feature an inscription with the formula ‘Trusting in the King...’. At the same time, some pieces bearing just the name of their owner differ from the other examples in the collection in terms of shape and chemical composition. These were certainly made after the period of Ottoman sway in Hungary
