Abstract

The article is devoted to a rare sphragistic type − an image of Christ presented on one of the molivduls, originating from the Byzantine Kherson. The rare image of the Saviour, usually found on the seals of emperors and rare high-ranking dignitaries, most likely suggests the high status of the owner of molivdovul from Kherson. Given the rather rare name of the sigillant, it is possible that the owner of the Kherson seal could be one of the eparchs of the Byzantine capital of the seventh century, also named Irenaeus.
