Description: | Copper-alloy seal matrix. The die is oval, 14 x 13 mm, and the matrix rises on the reverse to form a handle; there is a narrowed waist, then the handle flares again again slightly, then flattens to form an openwork terminal. The terminal is basically trefoil, with two circular side loops and a central elongated inverted drop-shape with a small knop at the top. The die is engraved with the letters I V with a possible plant motif below and between, and a similar smaller motif above. 16th or 17th century.
