Description: | Copper alloy seal matrix, circular disc with suspension loop on the reverse. This is very worn and little detail can be made out. The central device is of a male head with hand raised before face, perhaps in prayer. Little of the legend is discernible, only [...] I [...] P I [...] (?). The size of the lettering suggests there are perhaps 15+ letters. There is a raised rib running across the centre of the reverse which expands into a suspension loop at one end, corresponding with the top of the head, and presumably with the start of the legend on the obverse. Dark green patchy patina. Medieval 13th-14th century. Diameter 16.66mm, thickness (including the suspension loop) 7.06mm, weight 3.06g.
