Description: | Gilt copper alloy watch chain seal set with a glass intaglio depicting the bust of a bearded man facing right in the Neo-classical style. The seal is oval in plan and convex in profile. Above the rim of the setting for the intaglio there are radiating moulded ridges with a knop in the centre on the top, which is missing its suspension loop, reminiscent of a tea cosy!
Bailey (DF2) illustrates a similar example on page 27, No.18.
