Description: | A copper alloy vesica-shaped (pointed oval) seal matrix, plain back with midrib beginning half-way along and rising gently to a neat suspension hook at top. Hook is corroded but intact; matrix is in generally good condition, but the edges are worn. Device: an elegant, curved flowering plant issuing from a low pair of leaves. Two curving tendrils (one each side of the main stem) split again and terminate in tiny, five-petalled flowers, whilst the "stem" terminates in a spray of buds. Device is separated from legend by a dotted line.
Measurements: 16 mm x 25.5 mm; weight 5 g.
