Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy seal matrix of 14th century date (see P. Harvey and A. McGuinness; 1996; pp. 88).The back of the circular printing face tapers upwards into a damaged lug handle. The seal, when printed, contains the central image of a squirrel facing left and holding a nut. The legend reads: '*PRIVESV' ('I am private'). Both the subject matter and legend are common features of seals of this period, several similar pieces having been recorded on the PAS database.It measures 17.1mm in diameter, 9.1mm high and weighs 5.01g.
