Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy seal matrix, which has been chip carved. The seal matrix is a flat, circular type. The face of the matrix is also flat and circular. It survives in a very poor condition and only about 30% of the object remains. The edges are extremely worn and damaged. It dates from the 13th - 15th century. The face of the matrix is illegible, as so little survives and it is so badly worn. Therefore the inscription can not be read either. Three letters are visible and appear to read [---]SMA[---]. No lug can be seen on the reverse of the surviving part of the matrix. The metal is a mid greenish-brown colour.
