Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy medieval seal matrix, probably circa 14th century in date. The oval shaped die and a fragment of the shaft survives, the rest of the shaft and suspension loop are missing due to old breaks. The die is worn and has a probable saint with a suppliant figure kneeling before him. This design was used on bishops' subsidary seals. The inscription is now illegible due to wear. The die measures 24.08mm by 19.66mm in size. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
