I have to disagree with Basil there. In
Byzantine times, lead sealings were made with a boulleterion, which
had the channel running through the middle. I don't see any evidence of that (perhaps can Mike?). So that irregulariry on top can't be a chord channel. It's probably caused in the striking process. This object resembles some of the lead nummi or perhaps it is some kind of token.
