Description: | A conical seal die with facetted sides. The face shows a facing deer's head with antlers and with surmounted cross. The inscription is difficult to read; the letters ESV[...]CI can be made out, but not understood. The seal is encrusted with iron and has a pink surface, possibly indicating it has been burnt. 13th or, more probably, 14th century.Antlers with a cross between them constitute the symbol of either St Hubert or St Eustace, both of whom were converted by seeing a cross between the antlers of a stag.
