Description: | A personal seal matrix of probable late 12th to 13th century date (see P. Harvey and A. McGuinness, 1996, pp. 79).The object takes the form of a flat circular disc with a damaged loop attachment at the top. The printing face has the recessed central image of a cross with curved ends and, at the centre, a smaller cross set at forty five degrees to the main one. No line border separates the image from the legend which, when printed, reads: '+SIGIL'.PETRI.TRA[?CA]' ('Seal of Peter Traca'). The reverse of the matrix is flat and plain.The seal is slightly corroded around the edges. It measures 34.14mm in diameter, 5.87mm thick and weighs 30.8g.
