Description: | A copper-alloy pointed oval shaped seal matrix of medieval circa 14th century date. Measuring 28.4mm in length and 18.12mm in width. There is an integral suspension loop, which is now incomplete due to an old break, on the back face of one tip of the matrix. The front face has a border legend which is worn but reads AVE MARIA GRACIA P; meaning 'Hail Mary full of grace.' In the centre of the front face there is a womans head in side profile facing right, this is presumably Mary. Inscription: AVE MARIA GRACIA P | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
