Description: | A pointed oval (or vesica) shaped seal-matrix engraved with a cross, a bishop's mitre, a sword and a key. Below is engraved the figure of a praying cleric. The legend is very badly abraded and difficult to read. It begins S' OFFICII (or OFFICIALITIS) which might signify an official position connected to an ecclesiastical institution. The symbols of St Paul (sword) and St Peter (key) might refer to the dedication of a church, cathedral or abbey. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
