Description: | A paste intaglio in a copper alloy setting - probably part of a fob seal. The intaglio is oval and is made of a violet coloured paste inscribed with the number 3. The surface of the intaglio is quite scratched. The copper alloy setting is also oval and was possibly once gilded, although no traces of gilt remain. The conical handle and the suspension loop of the fob seal are missing. Such fob seals were popular during the late 18th and 19th centuries. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
