Description: | A copper alloy seal matrix dating from the medieval period. The matrix has a circular base, a hexagonal faceted conical handle with a collar beneath the lozenge shaped terminal. There is a circular suspension hole through the terminal. The motif is of a squirrel facing right (described from the impression) with the legend ?? * I CRAKE NOTI(S)??. A similar matrix on the PAS database is IHS-2554C7. This design and inscription seem to have been popular in the 13th and 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
