Description: | A cast copper alloy seal matrix of later medieval date. The oval die measures 23.58mm by 19.29mm and the overall height from die to handle is 21.45mm. It weighs 11.34g. The seal matrix has a conical handle, with six subtle facets, which tapers to a collar and the remains of the broken trefoil terminal. The die is incised with a motif consisting of two parallel pointed archways with a figure standing in each. Below the archways are two downwards pointing triangles which make the overall design more symmetrical. There is no legend. The seal matrix is quite worn and little of the original surface survives.
