The double-sided seal die adopted by the Conqueror after Hastings is a celebrated though not fully understood artefact.

It shows a man wearing a helmet or crown, mounted on a gallopping horse, and holding a shield and banner with three streamers. This image may seem banal, but it is not, for it was completely new in the 1060s. Indeed, I think William was the inventor of the equestrian princely seal."
