Byzantine Seal of John Hypatos? 6th Century?

I am cataloging a nice addition to my collection of seals of Ioannes/John.  It measures 24.84 mm and weighs 8.2 g.  I believes that it solves as Seal of Ioannes/John Hypatos and dates to 6th Century.  What do you all think?  Pogh_poor

Yes! 7th century also still possible.

Thank you for the confirmation Gert!  Is the larger size of the seal indicative of the seventh century? Pogh_poor

As a rule of thumb, the smaller sized seals tend to be earlier, but there's no way to be sure of course.
