Description: | Copper-alloy seal matrix. The die is circular and 18 mm in diameter, and there is a hexagonally facetted conical handle (worn almost to a circular cross-section) rising to a collar and a flattened pointed pierced terminal. The die is engraved with a quatrefoil, within which is a shield bearing six small crosses (perhaps cross-crosslet) - three in the top row, two in the second and one at the bottom. There is a six-point star above and to either side of the shield. In the angles of the quatrefoil are initials which are tiny and hard to read; perhaps (starting at the top right of the impression) h OV E L, a surname. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
