Description: | A complete copper-alloy seal matrix. Pointed oval in shape, measuring 29.2mm in length and 19.4mm in width. On the back face of the seal matrix, at one of the pointed tips of the oval shape there is a suspension loop. On the front face the Virgin and child are shown. The surrounding boarder inscription reads, 'AVE MARIA GRACIA PLENA.' Meaning, 'Hail Mary full of grace.' This seal matrix is therefore annoymous, having a pious phrase instead of the owners name. It is medieval and most likely to be 14th century in date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
