  Abstract:  Seal Patterns and Impressions Representing the Guilds of Crişiana and Maramureş (17th-19th Centuries). Besides other specific aspects, the investigation of the activity of craft guilds has in view the seal they used. The heraldic symbol adopted by every guild is usually connected to their occupation, to the product/object of their work. The present study reviews 48 seal images (27 seal patterns and 21 impressions) which belonged to various guilds from Crişana and Maramureş (in the North-West of Romania, the counties of Arad, Bihor, Maramureş, Satu Mare and Sălaj), most of them dating from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They also represent a valuable source for the research dedicated to heraldry and economic history.
