Description: | Medieval copper alloy pendant seal, 21mm in diameter. The central motif appears to show a war horse and rider The legend is not legible and the edges are too fragile to take an impression.From the illustration, this object appears to be a seal matrix with a hexagonally faceted handle rising to a rounded pierced terminal. The circular die appears to show a Lamb and Flag (Agnus Dei) design as the central motif, with the lamb in profile facing left with the flagpole passing behind the body. The inscription could well be * ECCE AGNUS DEI, the most common inscription on matrices with this central design. 14th century.
