Description: | Copper alloy circular seal matrix, plain flat back with slight raised midrib suspension loop intact at top. Device of a knight on horseback, sword in raised right hand, looking (?) back over his shoulder. He appears to be wearing a rather short mail hauberk, a fully developed 'great helm' and carrying a tapered 'knightly sword' (hilt indistinct). He wears a long surcoat but his horse is unadorned. There is some sort of cuff indicated on the sword hand. The whole is placed above a fleur-de-lys, with what appears to be a crescent between the sword arm and the horse's raised tail. Device is separated from the legend by a line; a similar line marks the outer edge of the matrix face. Measurements: 30 mm diameter.
