Description: | A copper alloy seal ring. The plain, oval-sectioned loop (internal diameter 19.19mm) widens at the shoulders to a flat, circular bezel. This contains a seal matrix within an impressed, corded border. The matrix contains a bird standing left holding something in its beak. Behind the bird is a branch with what may be leaves, acorns or possibly the beaks of chicks (the latter might suggest that the bird is a representation of the 'pelican in her piety' although the bird does not closely resemble a pelican). The half of the circle in front of the bird has uneven inward-pointing triangles forming a border.
