Damianos, 6th-7th centuries. Seal (Lead, 22 mm, 9.10 g, 12 h). The Baptism of Christ: Christ, wearing nimbus cruciger, kneeling in center, being baptized by John the Baptist, nimbate and standing to left; to left, angel standing to right; above, dove flying downward. Rev. Cruciform monogram of ΔAMIANOV. Unpublished in the standard references, but cf. Zacos/Veglery 2938 (for a contemporaneous seal of Johannes which has the same scene on its obverse, but with the figures of John and the angel reversed). Another anonymous seal with the scene was published by Jordanov, Corpus III, 2388. A well-preserved seal with an extremely rare biblical scene. Good very fine.
