According to Friedenberg, op. cit., unlike the Byzantine Christian counterparts, stamps such as the present example were likely used on the stoppers of wine amphorae rather than to stamp bread. This stamp finds close parallel in nos. 1 and 2 in Friedenberg, op. cit., and may be from the same mold as no. 2.
