Description: | A copper alloy seal matrix with circular face. Hexagonal handle tapering to a triple collar with suspension loop above. Device of a rather plump squirrel in profile, facing left. It holds an acorn (nut uppermost) in front of its mouth in its left forepaw. It is not clear whether it is meant to be sitting on its haunches or scrabbling on the ground; the position of the opening star of the legend suggests the latter. Device separated from legend by a neat line; remains of a similar line visible marking outer edge of matrix. Measurements: 15 mm diameter, 16 mm high (approx.).
