Description: | Cast copper alloy seal matrix. The matrix is circular and has a hexagonally faceted suspension loop on the reverse with a pierced trefoil terminal. The centre of the seal bears an uncertain motif. In the centre is a sitting figure with a long robe on perhaps representing Mary. To the right is a small child facing her, and possibly sitting on her knee, presumably Jesus. To the left are two large palm leaves with long stems.
The surrounding inscription is very worn and corroded, however the begining and end of AVE M[ARIA PLENA GRA]CIA Inscription: AVE MARIA PLENA GRACIA | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
