The article is an analysis of an illustrated note, handwritten in Rome in 1858 by a painter from Wilno, Bolesław Rusiecki,. The note described some objects (a silver watch, a wax seal and an Ottoman medal with a ribbon), owned by a Polish monk named Tyszka or Tyszko, who was supposedly close to Adam Mickiewicz during his final weeks at Constantinople in 1855. The watch is said to belong previously to general Józef Bem, who died at Aleppo in 1850. The most important of these objects seems to be the seal with an inscription (which links it to a military unit of Polish volunteers in Turkey in 1855), a Polish eagle and Mickiewicz’s coat of arms – most probably designed by the poet himself on his deathbed.
