Definitely looks like that. However….maybe a sort of imprint or offset mark from a seal? Difficult to tell when we don’t have any idea of scale or size. There is a crease across it, which must have been made after the circular mark. There is also another smaller semi-circular mark to the left of the image, perhaps a smaller seal?
