Description: | A complete copper-alloy seal matrix of medieval circa late 13th or 14th century in date. Pointed oval in shape measuring 29.82mm in length and 18.34mm in width. There is an integral suspension loop on the back face of one end. The front face depicts a virgin and shield with suppliant figure below, the border inscription reads MATER DEI MISERERE MEI meaning 'Mother of God save me from misery.' This is therefore a religious inscription and this seal may have been used by a lesser Church dignitary. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
