Description: | A gilded cast copper alloy fob seal matrix with gemstone intaglio of probable 18th century date. The fob seal comprises a rectangular transparent gemstone die with the initials U C in intaglio. This is encased in a frame which is rectangular with rounded corners. The seal's broadly triangular handle is made up from moulded scrollwork. At the apex is a loop which holds a plain jump ring. The seal would have been suspended on a chain.
