Description: | A complete copper-alloy seal matirx of 'chess pawn' type. The suspension loop has a triangular terminal and an oval perforation, the shaft of the matirx is pentagonal and the die is circular. The seal matirx measures 23.5mm in height and the die measures 14mm in diameter. The underside of the die has the crowned letter 'R' on it with a branch to either side of it. This style of design is often found in the 15th century especially on signet finger rings. The letter probably stands for the owners' forename. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
