Description: | Personal silver seal matrix, post-medieval 17th-18th century in date. Short tapering hexagonal-section handle surmounted by 2 hexagonal collars, a circular suspension loop and a hexagonal knop. There is no legend on the seal although an elaborate pictoral engraving can be found. This depicts two birds facing each other, beaks touching. Each has a flower at their back and there is a heart with an arrow through below their feet. Above the birds heads there is a ??halo?? with three surrounding plant sprigs. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Keys, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
