Description: | A circular, copper alloy seal matrix with waisted handle terminating in a double collar topped by a trefoliar handle with circular perforation. Device of a bird, walking right, but looking back over its shoulder. Wing is slightly raised, four tail feathers are visible, and both feet are shown with distinct toes. The bird does not appear to be of any specific species, although it has a fairly pronounced beak. Device largely separated from legend by a nead beaded line, broken by the bird's wing-tip and feet; a similar line marks the outer edge of the matrix. Measurements: 16 mm diameter, 20 mm high.
