Description: | A vesica-shaped (pointed oval) lead seal matrix, back unseen. Device appears to be a version of the alchemical symbol for antimony, consisting of two opposed sets of three branches joined by a central line. The upper set has curved outer arms, rather like a candelabrum, pointing upwards; the lower trio point down, and are shaped like a trident with curved tines. Device is separated from legend by a shaky line; a similar line marks the outer edge of the matrix face. Measurements: 18 mm x 30 mm (approx.).
