Description: | A lead vesica-shaped (pointed oval), double sided seal matrix; no suspension loop but top point is broken off. Device on Osgate side: a waning crescent moon occupies the left-hand side of the matrix, extending from the bottom of the vesica to two thirds of the way towards the top of it. Above the moon is the remnant of an eight-pointed star (?) and in the space to the right of the moon a six-pointed star with curved limbs, looking rather like an ignited Catherine wheel; below this, a small dot. A line separates the device from the legend area. Wilelmi side: what appears to be an iris flower rising from its leaves, the design occupying virtually the entire central vesica. No line between legend and device. Measurements: 26 mm x 37 mm; weight 14.5 g.
