Seal of Mikolaj Cikowski of Cikowice, Starost of Sanok. Round seal impression. Shield with the Radwan coat of arms with rich lambrequins. In the crest above the crowned helmet are five ostrich feathers. In the rim, interrupted by the coat of arms and the crest, is the inscription: NICOLAVS CZIKOWSKI // CAS. ZAR. CAPI S., . C, 1564, Poland., The image shows a close-up of textured beige paper with an embossed circular seal pressed into it; the seal features a raised ornamental crest with floral and scroll-like elements and a shield at its base, all rendered in the same beige tones as the paper, with shadows and highlights accentuating the raised design; the surrounding paper displays a fibrous, wrinkled surface with a few darker brownish smudges and subtle variations of cream, tan, and light brown across the scene.
