Description: | Cast copper alloy vesica shaped seal matrix. The seal has a small incomplete suspension loop at the top on the reverse. The face of the seal is decorated in the centre with a standing female with draped head, holding a crest in either hand. The crest presumably represents the coat of arms of the husband and that of the father. The female is shown wearing a long draped robe. The inscription surrounding the female reads - SECRETVM MARGARETE DE HOYLAND, which translates as 'seal of Margaret of Swineshead. Inscription: SECRETVM MARGARETE DE HOYLAND | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
