Description: | A copper alloy oval seal matrix, tapering hexagonal handle terminating in a single collar and a rhomboid suspension loop with circular perforation. Device: at the bottom of the matrix a sleeping lion, head to the left, forelegs hidden under head. Body forms a curve, with the tail forming another curve below. Lion occupies bottom two-thirds of the available device space. Above the lion, two rather indistinct features, probably intended for foliage or fruit; above this, a crown of three points. Device is separated from the legend by a beaded line; a similar line delineates the other edge of the matrix.
Measurements: unknown.
