Description: | Cast copper-alloy seal matrix in very good condition. It is a 14th century merchant's pendant seal, chain missing. On the seal is depicted a woman with a spindle in one hand, a ball of wool in the other. She is framed by two ears of grain. While the picture is easy to identify, the writing is more problematic. Unfortunately, although quite clear, it is difficult to make out the individual letters. It does not seem to be one of the usual inscriptions, but maybe a personal name (of the merchant) or an inscription made up of abbreviations.) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
