Description: | Copper alloy oval seal matrix. The die is oval (L. 14.80mm. W. 12.77mm) with a conical handle on the reverse with slight hexagonal faceting. The handle tapers from the loop to the junction with the base. The handle terminates with a large trefoil loop, with four circular apertures (one in the centre and one in each foil). The uppermost foil is now incomplete. The central motif is a stylised bird with two heads and its wings outstretched within a plain oval border (as seen from the impression). There are traces of a black coating on the reverse of the die. Patchy dark green patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
