Description: | Circular copper alloy seal matrix, back unseen but decribed as hexagonal and in good condition other than the fact that the top of the suspension loop is missing. Device of an eagle displayed, head turned to the left. Across the top of the chest and outspread wings a ribband or scroll, from which are suspended three? small shields. Arms on these are very difficult to read: leftmost shield, a pallium; centre shield, fleurs-de-lys; rightmost shield, indecipherable. The whole is separated from the legend by a beaded line, and a similar line marks the outer edge of the matrix. Measurements: 19 mm; handle 34 mm
