I am working on identifying an unusual - uncommon (at least to me) Byzantine seal with jeweled/beaded crosses on both sides. It measures 20.11mm and weighs 7 g.
On the first side, there is a jeweled/beaded cross within a beaded circle with :A3: :Greek_Omega: (possibly though it has some damage) :Greek_Eta: :Greek_Nu: within the arms of the cross.
On the second side, there is a jeweled/beaded cross within a beaded circle with :Greek_Kappa: or X (possibly though it has some damage) : :Greek_Lambda: C :Greek_epsilon: within the arms of the cross.
I haven't seen a similar seal. It looks a bit like the anonymous follis of Romanus IV. Any help would be appreciated. Pogh_poor

I found a seal with somewhat a similar cross on the obverse in the Dumbarton Oaks collection (Seal of) Leontios Pogh_poor
