Description: | Small copper alloy circular seal matrix with hexagonal handle tapering to a single collar, three-sided suspension loop with circular aperture above. Device: a crowned St Margaret of Antioch rising from the stomach of a dragon. In her left hand she holds a cross staff, the end of which rests in the open mouth of the dragon, whose body forms a curve across the bottom of the image. On Margaret's right there appears to be another item which is unclear; it may be a large palm frond, or possibly the figure of a devil. Scene is separated rom the legend by a dotted line.
Measurements: approximately 23 mm diameter, 39 mm tall.
