A different monogram
« on: September 09, 2009, 08:06:20 am »

That is a monogram for Johannes in the genetive case - IWANNOV - (seal of) Johannes. It is rather artfully designed with the alpha and omega at the bottom.

No, I haven't. Zacos' Byzantine Lead Seals (volume I) lists 41 different Johannes-monograms, but yours is not there.
